Despite Door County spending a little more money in 2025, as a taxpayer, you may not have to. The Door County Board of Supervisors will host a public hearing on the 2025 budget before officially acting on it during its meeting on November 12th. The county’s budget includes $113 million in spending, which provides funding for upgrades for communications equipment at the Door County Justice Center and runway improvements at the Door County Cherryland Airport.  The budget also includes money for a larger improvement project for its E911 system that will bring the county’s emergency communications into the 21st century. Like Kewaunee County, Door County residents will see their tax rate drop 7.4 percent due to increased property values. The new rate is $2.24 per $1,000 of equalized property value. The tax levy will rise in 2025 by 1.12 percent to just above $32 million. The board will also host a public hearing on the county’s comprehensive and farmland preservation plans for 2045. After the public hearings and the county board acts on the budget and tax levy, supervisors will look to approve grants to pave the way for improvements to the Door County Communications Center and John Miles County Park. The meeting begins at 9 a.m. at Sturgeon Bay's Door County Government Center.
