Surging public safety costs and the end of federal government Covid funding in the next couple of years will likely lead to a series of property tax opt outs in Minnehaha County.

The County Commission will consider the first of those opt outs for next year’s budget. Valued at $1.5 million, the opt out would be levied in 2025.

In addition, the commission will be asked to take another $1.5 million next year from a 2019 opt out that was never fully levied. The money is expected to help fill a $168 million budget.
