Ringgold County Board Hears Written Objection to Proposed FY27 Property Tax Levy
Summary
The Ringgold County Board of Supervisors opened a public hearing March 23 on the proposed FY27 property tax levy. A property owner filed a written objection that the auditor placed with the FY27 budget documents; no other comments were received and the board closed the hearing.
The Ringgold County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing March 23, 2026, on the proposed fiscal year 2027 property tax levy, and received a written objection from a property owner, the board minutes show.
Chair Colby Holmes opened the hearing after the board convened at 10:00 a.m. Supervisors Randy Taylor, Colby Holmes and Steve Knapp were present. Jeff Snyder of the Mount Ayr Record News attended the session, according to the minutes.
Property owner Kevin Kilgore filed written objections to the proposed levy and submitted them electronically to Chair Colby Holmes. The minutes state Auditor Waske received the submission and placed Kilgore’s objection with the FY27 budget documents for the record. The minutes note there were no other comments received during the hearing.
Supervisor Steve Knapp moved to close the public hearing; Supervisor Randy Taylor seconded the motion, which the minutes record as carried. The minutes record the hearing’s closure at 10:31 a.m.
The board also approved routine business: Supervisor Randy Taylor moved to approve the meeting agenda, seconded by Supervisor Steve Knapp, with the vote recorded as unanimous; later, Supervisor Colby Holmes moved to approve the minutes, seconded by Supervisor Steve Knapp, and that motion carried as recorded. The minutes state there was no further business.
The published minutes list an adjournment motion by Supervisor Steve Knapp, seconded by Supervisor Colby Holmes, and give an adjournment time of 10:15 a.m. That time conflicts with the minutes’ earlier note that the public hearing closed at 10:31 a.m.; the minutes themselves record both times. The county auditor’s official record should be consulted for the definitive chronology.
No formal vote on the proposed levy amount or rate is recorded in the minutes of this hearing; the only recorded action specific to the levy is the receipt and filing of the written objection.
The minutes were attested by the board and the Ringgold County auditor. The board recorded no further business at the session.
