The Barry County Board of Commissioners adopted the 2020 county budget on Tuesday.  The $17.8 million General Fund budget maintains departmental staffing at the current levels, except for the addition of a part time clerk for the Equalization department. Property taxes bring in $12.3 million, levied at 5.3504 mills, the maximum allowed after the application of the Headlee rollback.  Federal and State revenue provides $2 million, while charges for services, licenses and permits, rents and interest, fines and forfeits, and other revenue provides $3.5 million in revenues.

The total budget for all funds, including General fund, special revenue, debt, enterprise, construction, and internal service exceeds $48 million for 2020.
