BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA-2026 — July 27, 2026
The county locked in a $491.3 million budget for the coming year. Property tax rates for the primary and library levies stay flat, and flood control's rate drops slightly — the county hasn't raised the rate since 2019. Over $50 million goes to one-time capital projects, partly funded from reserves.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA-2026 — July 1, 2026
Tentative $491 million budget keeps the primary property tax rate flat, lowers the flood control rate, and funds a 3.3% employee cost-of-living raise. Final adoption is July 27 with a public hearing.
