If you live in Sarpy County, you may receive a special pink postcard that looks similar to the example below. The postcard is not a tax bill. It shows the estimated change in your property taxes on the right side of the card, as well as the political subdivisions levying those taxes.

Anyone can attend the public hearing(s) listed on the postcard to learn more about the budgeting process and make public comments before the political subdivision adopts the levy for the next fiscal year.

This year's Joint Public Hearing in Sarpy County is Wednesday, September 23, at 6:30 p.m. at Bellevue University’s Criss Auditorium.

The Sarpy County Board on Tuesday, Sept. 15, invested in the county’s road network and final stages of the renovated 911 center in the budget for fiscal year 2027.

The county is converting a building adjacent to campus on 84th Street and Highway 370 into a modern 911 Communications Center that will serve the county’s growing needs. The project, which spans two budget cycles, kicked off in January 2026 and is expected to open in the first quarter of 2027.

The budget also reflects a $197 million bond to be used over the next three years to improve the county’s road infrastructure and set the stage for new growth. Those road projects under construction in the current fiscal year include the highly anticipated South Sarpy Expressway, the 156th and Capehart Road Network, and several roads that will service the future I-80 interchange at 192nd Street, among others.

The budget is $328.9 million plus the $197 million road bond.

The long-term transportation study will help guide future roadway improvements, and we were glad to see so many community members engage with the process.

“People are interested in their future, and they want to be a part of it,” Commissioner Don Kelly said at the event.

Sarpy County joins our community and nation in remembering the events of September 11, 2001, and honoring the lives lost and all Americans whose lives changed forever.

Twenty-five years later, we reflect not only on the tragedy of 9/11, but what followed: strangers supporting strangers, communities uniting, and Americans putting aside their differences to care for each other.

9/11 reminds us of the sacrifice of those who ran toward danger, and it renews a sense of gratitude for the first responders and military personnel who continue to protect and serve today. Sarpy County is a proud military community that is home to thousands of veterans, military families and service members stationed at Offutt Air Force Base, which offered President George W. Bush a secure command center in the aftermath of the attacks.

May we carry forward the spirit of unity that emerged after 9/11 and know that we are stronger when we stand together.
