Summary
The Autauga County Commission unanimously adopted Resolution #2026-6 on Nov. 18, 2025, directing the Alabama Department of Revenue to administer and collect county sales, use, rental and lodging taxes; the resolution takes effect Feb. 1, 2026.
The Autauga County Commission on Nov. 18 unanimously approved Resolution #2026-6, directing the Alabama Department of Revenue to administer and collect all sales, use, rental and lodging taxes levied by the county.
Commissioner Rusty Jacksland made the motion to approve the resolution; Commissioner John L. Thrailkill seconded it. The motion carried by unanimous vote of the five commissioners present: Jay Thompson (chair), Rusty Jacksland, John L. Thrailkill, Bill Tatum and Terry Tanner.
The resolution cites authority under the Code of Alabama 1975, Section 11-3-11.3, and instructs the county to provide a certified copy and any other information required by the Department of Revenue to carry out administration and collection. The resolution states it will be effective Feb. 1, 2026.
County officials did not record extended debate in the minutes; the action was approved as presented. The change centralizes administration and remittance of the specified taxes through the state agency rather than local processing, per the language of the resolution.
The commission took the vote during its regular meeting in Prattville and listed the action as Resolution #2026-6 in the meeting minutes.
