County Chooses Tax Relief Over Spending | Wichita News
Description
Sedgwick County’s 2027 budget shocks with bold property tax relief — intentionally leaving millions uncollected to ease homeowner burdens. After four straight years of lowering the mill levy, they’re sacrificing $7.5 million in department funding to prioritize taxpayer relief. But don’t worry — critical services like EMS are getting a boost, with 15 new hires, two ambulances, and two specialty vehicles. It’s a tough but thoughtful balance: cutting where they can, investing where it matters most. Public input starts July 29 at 6 PM — your voice matters in shaping this responsible, community-driven budget.
