The White County Board of Commissioners passed the new $35.1 million budget for fiscal year 2024.
Even with a 9.6 percent increase in the budget, the commissioners say they are hopeful they can maintain the current 9.505 tax millage rate.
The commissioners gave their unanimous approval to the new budget during a called meeting Monday following a second public hearing on the budget.
The commissioners are expected to officially set this year’s tax millage rate at the end of July.
