County Budget

Sherburne County welcomes input from residents. Please direct any comments or suggestions on the County Budget Process to Dan Weber, Assistant County Administrator.

2019 Budget

The 2019 Preliminary Budget stands at $96,332,644 and includes a levy of $48,551,886 that was approved at the Sept. 4 County Board meeting. This represents a 4.75% increase from the 2018 levy. Once the preliminary budget is set, it cannot go any higher, but it can be cut.

The Board will hold its Truth in Taxation public hearing on Dec 10. The public hearing provides information on the proposed budget and levy and allows citizens to give their input.

The final budget and levy will be adopted in December.
