Johnson County Manager Penny Postoak Ferguson has proposed a FY 2024 budget to address the needs of a growing community, maintain high public service levels and provide competitive compensation for recruitment and retention of staff.

The County Manager’s budget proposal includes a 0.250 mill levy rollback on the county’s property taxes, aligns with priorities of the Board of County Commissioners and represents feedback from Johnson County residents in the 2023 Community Survey.

A key budget priority for Postoak Ferguson this year is addressing a recent comprehensive salary and benefits study showing the county’s salary grade structure was below market by an average 6.1%

The Board now will review the budget proposal and hear from county departments and agencies in a series of work sessions in May and June.
