ABOUT THE PUBLIC HEARING: As required by the Nebraska Legislature, if any County, City, Community College, or School District seeks to increase its property tax request by more than the allowable growth percentage, such political subdivision must participate in a joint public hearing.

 

Valuations will not be discussed at this hearing, because the time for valuation protests has concluded. There will be no voting taking place at this hearing.  There will only be presentations given by the political subdivision in alphabetical order beginning with Cass County.  Once all presentations have been given, there will be a public comment period that will go in the same alphabetical order. 

 

While the public comment period is the opportunity for members of the public to speak, there will not be back-and-forth discussions between members of the public and representatives from the political subdivisions.
