Tonganoxie Public Library Overview The Tonganoxie Public Library budget is largely comprised of funding from ad valorem taxes levied in the City of Tonganoxie tax district. To set the ad valorem property tax rate, the Library Board makes a mill levy recommendation to the City Council, and the City Council considers the recommendation under the City's authority to levy taxes when finalizing the property tax levy each year. City charter ordinance states that the Library General Fund levy mill rate cannot be greater than 5.950 mills, while the Library Employee Benefits Fund does not have a maximum mill rate set by City charter ordinance.
