Stewart County adopts 2024 millage rate of 11.596 after brief delay
Summary
The Stewart County Board of Commissioners adopted a 2024 millage rate of 11.596 on Oct. 25 after an earlier called meeting on Oct. 8 took no action because the Stewart County School Board's rate was not yet available.
The Stewart County Board of Commissioners adopted a 2024 millage rate of 11.596 at a called meeting on Oct. 25, 2024. Commissioner Joe L. Williams moved to accept the rate and Commissioner Tom Mayo seconded; all commissioners voted in favor.
The board had met earlier on the evening of Oct. 8 specifically to consider the millage rate but took no action because the Stewart County School Board had not provided its millage decision, according to the minutes. At the Oct. 25 meeting commissioners were informed the school board had set its millage at 14.211.
The adoption was handled in a brief called meeting; no public hearing text or further tax-impact breakdown was recorded in the board minutes. The motion to adopt the county millage passed unanimously.
The board's next procedural step will follow whatever statutory notice or tax-assessment procedures county staff complete after adoption; the minutes do not specify an effective date for the rate.
