Appling County sets called meeting to adopt 2026 budget and millage
Summary
Commissioners agreed to hold a called meeting to approve the 2026 budget and related millage-setting steps; during discussion they referenced digest timing, appeals, and the need to finalize PT forms before adopting final millage.
The Appling County Commission set a called meeting to approve the 2026 budget and associated millage calculations. Commissioners discussed several date options and settled on a meeting in late September (discussion concluded with a motion to hold the meeting on Sept. 29 at 5:30 p.m.). Staff noted the final tax digest must be approved by the state and that PT-32/PT-21 rollback calculations will be submitted once the digest is final; the county cannot finalize millage rates until appeals and digest adjustments are complete.
Why this matters: State procedures require final digest approval before millage-setting; the called meeting will allow the commission to adopt a final budget and millage rate in time for the tax-collection schedule.
Provenance: The called-meeting discussion and motion occur during the agenda scheduling block beginning at 01:12:23 in the transcript.
