County Board approves budget
The Lincoln County Board Tuesday morning approved a 2014 county budget of $48,227,602 and a corresponding tax levy of $13,471,031. The budget is down by .54 percent from 2013. Due to a 5 percent drop in the county’s equalized value, however, the levy is up by 31 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, or $31 on a $100,000 property.
