Budget and Finance
Budget and Finance
Budget and Finance is responsible for maintaining the budgets for all taxing entities within Douglas County including the County, Cities, Townships, Cemeteries, Drainage Districts, and Northeast Kansas Library. The Budget office is also responsible for setting all tax mill levies within Douglas County and the tax abstract.
Where Does the Money Go?
Property taxes help fund many local services, including schools, public safety, roads, libraries, and much more. Each local government, including school districts, cities, the county, and special districts, sets its own mill levy each year to fund the next year’s budget.
Douglas County collects property taxes on behalf of all taxing entities and distributes the revenue based on each entity’s mill levy.
