The Riley County commission on Thursday unanimously certified a 2025 budget of more than $104 million and a mill levy of 37.943 mills, meaning property owners will see a slight decrease in their taxes.
This year’s mill levy is a 1.923-mill decrease from last year. A mill represents $1 in taxes for every $1,000 in assessed, taxable property value, so the owner of a $100,000 property who paid $458.69 in 2024 taxes would pay $458.16 on a home now valued at $105,000 in 2025, a .1% drop in county property taxes from 2024.
