NRD BUDGET
FISCAL YEAR 2009 BUDGET
The NRD fiscal year begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th. Finalizing a budget for a fiscal year is a several-month process involving NRD staff, Board of Directors and the public. The NRD’s Fiscal Year 2009 Budget keeps the property tax levy rate at the same level as last year. The $20.3 million balanced total of revenue and expenditures for preserving and protecting natural resources is larger than in last year’s budget due to greater anticipated amounts of federal and state revenue for projects and programs, but the property tax levy rate in the approved budget remains at approximately $0.041814 per $100 in valuation.
