City Budget

On September 13, City Council passed the 2011-2012 Budget which will go into effect October 1, 2011.  This budget represents the fifth consecutive year that the City of Kearney has maintained or increased services without increasing property taxes.  We are fortunate in Kearney that we have a robust local and regional economy that has supported increases in sales receipts – even through a recession. 

We have aggressively pursued efficiency and quality in providing services to the community, and I think it has paid off for our residents.  Kearney has one of the lowest municipal property tax rates in Nebraska, and I believe we have used the revenue taxpayers have entrusted us with to provide the highest standard of quality of life.  Click here to see the FY2012 budget, and if you have questions about your City government – please contact us.
