Fayette County Board Approves Tax Levy Ordinance and FY27 Budget

Following a Truth in Taxation hearing that saw just under 50 county residents in attendance to speak or voice thoughts and concerns on the county’s proposed tax levy, the Fayette County Board on Tuesday night approved the yearly tax levy ordinance, appropriations ordinance and the Fiscal Year 2027 budget during their monthly meeting. The board heard an hour of public comments during the Truth in Taxation hearing which is required when a taxing body looks to have a levy increase more than 5% over the preceding year. A presentation showed that the current county portion of overall tax bills is 14.41% and the proposed tax levy would add an additional 0.98% to that amount. A short discussion including remarks from a couple board members were heard before the board approved a motion for the tax levy ordinance by a vote of 9 to 3 with board members Joe Wills, Ryan Tompkins, Pat Click, Jake Harris, Jacque Durr, James Wehrle, Ashley Towler, Scott Ray and Mack Payne voting in support of the motion while Dan Lutz, Scott Workman and Mike Black voting in opposition and board members Sean Hannagan and Michael Butts not in attendance for the meeting. County Board Vice Chairman Pat Click says the issue is not a pleasant one and the concerns the board heard from the residents was a good reminder that the county needs to continue to be efficient and transparent.
