The average homeowner in Ada County will pay approximately 12% less in property taxes for the Ada County portion of their tax bill in the coming fiscal year. This is the direct result of fiscal restraint and difficult choices made by the board during the FY24 Ada County budget deliberations.
Last week all Ada County offices and departments presented their budgets to the Board of Commissioners. During budget deliberations the goal of the board was to balance the need for more services for a rapidly growing county with the reality that inflation is eating into individual and family budgets throughout our state and the entire country. This savings to taxpayers acknowledges the challenges that households in our communities all face including higher utility bills, the higher cost of goods and services, gasoline, and food to name a few.
“Households are being increasingly squeezed at every turn. Our budget will provide some relief to homeowners who are trying to stay afloat. We will continue to live within our means so individuals and families can thrive and prosper in our beautiful county. Each elected official and department head in Ada County worked together to present budgets that were lean without compromising outstanding customer service. The Board worked hard to push back against budget increases and fought to keep taxes as low as possible.” – Ada County Board of Commissioners.
