Todd County Transparency
Where do my Todd County property tax dollars go?
By Nathan Burkett,
Todd County Administrator
The total budget of Todd
County is just under 27 million
dollars, and there are four pri-
mary funding sources:
Tax revenues – property taxes
– budgeted in 2010 at just under
$12.1 million
Intergovernmental revenues –
reimbursements for administra-
tion of State and Federal
Programs, State Aid Highway
funds and County Program Aids
– budgeted in 2010 at just under
$10 million
Charges for services – fees
charged by the County for servic-
es, mostly charges to health care
programs such as Medicare,
Medicaid and private insurance–
budgeted in 2010 at just under
$3.4 million
Miscellaneous and other rev-
enues – grants, donations, build-
ing rental fees – budgeted in
2010 at just under $1.5 million.
Property taxes account for
about 44% of Todd County’s
funding. There are many rev-
enue sources that may go to fund
a specific program area. For the
2010 budget, property tax dol-
lars are allocated as follows:
General government – pro-
vides for administration, build-
ing expenses, insurances, man-
dated library expenditures and
technology – 15%
Public safety – provides for
patrol, county jail, probation,
prosecution and mandated
expenses related to public
defender services – 24%
Tax administration, land
records and natural resources –
provides for property tax admin-
istration, maintenance of land
records and administration of
the county’s land use ordinance –
10%
Community services – pro-
vides for vulnerable adult and
child protection, administration
75¢
Todd County volunteers
recognized at the fair
of state social services programs,
public health services and veter-
ans services – 33%
Public works – maintenance
and enhancement of the county’s
highway system – 18%
Each year in September,
County Boards are required by
the State to submit a prelimi-
nary levy to the State for certifi-
cation. The Todd County Board
has been diligent to keep proper-
ty taxes to a reasonable level,
and has maintained the levy at a
rate lower than the State aver-
age for the past two years. For
2011, the Todd County Board has
directed staff to prepare a budg-
et which includes no levy
increase. On July 13, a prelimi-
nary budget was presented to
the Board in accordance with
this directive.
