Del Norte County board adopts tax-rate resolution for 2026–27 fiscal year

The Del Norte County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a resolution fixing tax rates for the 2026'27 fiscal year as presented by the County Administrative Officer and the Auditor-Controller.

During public comment, a resident voiced concern about the county's growing budget and asked where hundreds of millions of dollars in county spending were being allocated: "It seems like the county budget goes up by millions of dollars every year ... where are the remaining $230,000,000 or so going?" the commenter asked. After closing public comment, the board moved forward with the tax-rate resolution and approved it by unanimous vote.

The resolution formalizes the property-tax rates the county will levy for the coming fiscal year and enables the auditor to proceed with tax roll calculations and required notifications to the county's participating jurisdictions.
