COEUR d’ALENE — Kootenai County commissioners agreed Thursday to publish a $131 million budget for fiscal year 2025, about $10 million lower than the previous year’s budget, and signaled they intend to take a tax increase just shy of 2%. 

Commissioners Leslie Duncan and Bruce Mattare voted in favor of publishing the budget with a 2% tax increase, though the final number is expected to be slightly lower. 

“If there’s a way we could knock off a couple bucks and get it below 2%, I think that would be better for us,” Mattare said.
