Tax Levies - The Clerk's Work Behind Your Tax Bill

Tax levies can feel confusing, and I understand that. That’s exactly why I believe it’s important to show what really happens behind the scenes.

I’ve prepared the simple flowchart below so you can clearly see the process we manage in the Clerk’s Office.

Each year, levy rates are submitted by schools, fire districts, and other local entities based on their budgets and voter approvals. From there, the Clerk’s Office takes on the critical responsibility of reviewing every submission, working closely with those entities, verifying calculations, and ensuring everything meets state requirements. It’s a detailed process, and every step matters.

I’ve been part of this work. I understand how it all comes together, and I know the importance of getting it right.

This isn’t just about numbers — it’s about accuracy, accountability, and trust.

If you’re looking for someone who understands this process and will handle it with care, I’d be honored to earn your vote.

I’m ready to serve you and our county. ❤️
