The Polk County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 14 approved a resolution setting the 2025 countywide tax levy at 9.8084 mills and, after rollbacks of 2.3040 mills, establishing a net levy of 7.500 mills. The board also directed $2,267,625.81 from the county’s insurance premium tax to support operations of the Polk County Police Department.
Commissioner Chuck Thaxton moved approval of the resolution; Commissioner John Paschal seconded. Chairman Hal Floyd called for the motion, and the board voted to approve the measure unanimously.
The adopted resolution combines the millage-setting action with an explicit allocation of insurance premium tax revenue to the police department’s operating budget. The transcript records the levy figures (9.8084 mills, rollback 2.3040 mills, net 7.500 mills) and the allocation amount ($2,267,625.81) as part of the motion approved by the board.
No additional details about how the allocated insurance premium tax revenue will be spent within the police department (for example, specific programs or hiring) were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The action was taken during a called meeting of the Polk County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 14, 2025, and appears in the official minutes and attestation for that meeting.
