§ 103D.911 — Budget

Plain-Language Summary

Before adopting a budget, watershed district managers must hold a public hearing. The proposed budget must be published in newspapers for two weeks before the hearing. The budget must be adopted by September 15 each year, including the total amount to be raised from property tax levies.

Practical Notes
The September 15 budget deadline applies to all watershed districts. The public hearing requirement gives property owners a chance to review and comment on proposed spending and tax levies. The last newspaper publication must appear at least two days before the hearing.
