Funding & Budget
NRDs are primarily financed with tax revenues. In the Lower Platte North NRD, about half of the district's budget comes from a levy on local property taxes. By law, NRDs are limited to a maximum levy of 4.5 cents/$100 valuation. The NRD's levy generally accounts for 1.5 to 2 percent of total local property taxes.
Other funding comes from state and federal grants, local partnerships, and outside sources such as the Nebraska Environmental Trust.
