The City of Fort Dodge will hold a public hearing on the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget on April 27 at 6:00 PM at City Hall.
As we share this notice, we also want to provide a little context on property taxes:
The City's tax levy rate has remained largely unchanged in recent years.
If you are paying more in property taxes, it is typically due to an increase in your property's assessed value - not an increase in the City's levy.
In many cases, rising property values reflect a stronger market and increased equity in your home. While that can result in higher taxes, it also means your property is worth more.
We understand this balance matters to our residents, and know it can be a lot to make sense of. We encourage you to attend the hearing, ask questions, and stay informed about how your tax dollars are used.
Your input matters, and we hope to see you there.The City of Fort Dodge will hold a public hearing on the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget on April 27 at 6:00 PM at City Hall.

Fort Dodge Fire Department responded to a fire at Westridge Townhomes at 2:22 a.m. last night.
When crews arrived, they found heavy fire coming from a two-story apartment building. Firefighters quickly began putting out the fire, searching the building, and ventilating the structure. The fire started in a middle apartment and spread into the attic.
Crews used a deck gun and multiple hose lines to bring the fire under control. After the main fire was knocked down, firefighters remained on scene for several hours to make sure the fire was fully out and to check for hidden hot spots.
A third alarm callback brought in 14 off-duty firefighters to assist at the scene and help cover the station. In total, 24 Fort Dodge Fire Department personnel were involved in the response for about six hours.
Two occupants were transported to UnityPoint Health – Trinity Regional Medical Center for treatment of smoke inhalation.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, with assistance from the State Fire Marshal's Office.
Fort Dodge Fire was assisted by the Fort Dodge Police Department and the Webster County Sheriff's Office at the scene.
