HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The assessed valuations for the county increased over last year by a small margin.
The 2020 county total assessed value came in at $615,855,000. The city of Hutchinson assessed valuation for 2020 is $313,571,000. The increase in funding for Hutchinson will be around $313,000 while the increase for the county translates to about $800,000 at the current mill levy for both entities.
How that helps the city and county in the next budget cycle remains uncertain. County Administrator Randy Partington says they are still looking at between $1 million and $2 million in cuts for 2021.
Partington says they will hear budget presentations for the county department heads on June 25 and June 26.
