Summary

The commissioners approved a one‑year lease renewal with D.L. Foster Holdings LLC for the county tax office at 3210 Highway 90, with rent rising from about $4,000 to $4,500 per month and a $500 annual increase if renewed after the initial term.

The Liberty County Commissioners Court on a special February call approved an updated lease agreement with D.L. Foster Holdings LLC for the county tax office building at 3210 Highway 90 in Liberty.

Under the updated lease, rent will rise roughly 10% from about $4,000 to $4,500 per month for the initial term. If the court chooses to renew the lease after the initial one‑year term, rent would increase by an additional $500 per year on renewal. The lease is structured to renew automatically on a year‑to‑year basis unless the county gives affirmative notice to terminate.

County staff said the location has served the tax office well since the move about five and a half years ago and that the space is on the tax rolls. No alternative space was identified during the discussion, and commissioners said the one‑year term gives the county flexibility while longer‑term plans for a permanent facility continue.

Commissioner Gerald moved to approve the lease update; Commissioner Greg seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote with the three present voting in favor.

The approved document in the agenda packet is an updated lease agreement; the court did not authorize any additional appropriation or capital project in this vote.
