Effingham County adopts IRS mileage rate of $0.70 per mile
Summary
The Effingham County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt the Internal Revenue Service mileage reimbursement rate of $0.70 per mile; the motion was moved by Josh, seconded by Sandra, and approved by voice vote.
The Effingham County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt the Internal Revenue Service standard mileage reimbursement rate of $0.70 per mile during its meeting.
Josh, a county staff member, moved to adopt the IRS rate and said the county has historically followed the federal rate. “I would move to adopt the IRS rate of 70¢,” Josh said. Sandra seconded the motion. The board approved the change by voice vote.
Board members discussed that counties may choose whether to adopt the federal rate and that following the IRS rate helps standardize reimbursements for county employees who use county vehicles or claim mileage for county business. The motion language in the meeting recorded the new rate as 70¢ per mile “whenever it’s appropriate to be used.”
The adoption was recorded as a carried motion by voice vote. The clerk will reflect the new rate in county pay and reimbursement procedures.
