Commission authorizes Alabama Department of Revenue to collect county sales and motor-fuel taxes
Summary
Jackson County passed resolutions authorizing the Alabama Department of Revenue to administer and collect county sales/use, lodging and local motor-fuel taxes beginning July 1 and set to coincide with termination of the county’s contract with Avenue on June 30.
Jackson County commissioners voted to pass resolutions authorizing the Alabama Department of Revenue to administer and collect local sales and use, lodging and rental taxes and local motor-fuel taxes for the county, effective July 1; the votes followed the county’s termination notice to its previous vendor, Avenue.
County staff said a 90-day notice of termination to Avenue was sent and that the Department of Revenue requires signed resolutions and copies before April 1 in order to begin administration on July 1. The county passed a motion to set aside rules and approved both resolutions by voice vote so the Department of Revenue could receive copies before the deadline.
Chairman Nance made the motions; commissioners seconded and approved the resolutions by voice vote. No public comment or debate on the policy merits of the change was recorded during the meeting.
Ending: The resolutions complete administrative steps needed to transfer local tax-administering authority to the Alabama Department of Revenue with a July 1 start date and align with the county’s contract termination schedule with Avenue.
