By Rose Gruenbacher

Riley County commissioners on Monday considered a 2026 budget which would create a 10% increase in property taxes for the average homeowner.

The proposed county mill rate is 39.981, an increase of almost 2 mills from 2025.

A mill is $1 in taxes for every $1,000 in assessed, taxable property value.

A homeowner who paid $436.34 in property tax on a $100,000 home in 2025 would pay $481.68 on a home now worth $105,000 in 2026, using the county’s 5% average property tax increase for existing single-family homes. That’s an increase of $45.34, or 10.4%.

The travel reimbursement policy for county employees is once again under scrutiny.

This comes several months after travel reimbursements to Commissioner Dee McKee were in question. County Administrator Chad Kinsley highlighted some key points in the policy for the four new commissioners at last week’s meeting, to ensure everyone clearly understood the policy.

During that discussion, McKee voiced concerns about how the policy’s terms may be too constricting for the commissioners. Specifically, she was concerned with how the policy requires a two week notification for approval to travel, and many meetings at the Capitol are scheduled last minute. She was also concerned about how the policy was written with regards to documenting trip distance.
