Paulding County assessors table FY2027 amendments, delay FY2028 budget review until April 1
Summary
The Paulding County Board of Tax Assessors voted unanimously March 18 to table FY2027 budget amendments and the FY2028 proposed assessors budget, moving consideration to the April 1 meeting after Chief Appraiser James Stokes Jr. presented the requests.
The Paulding County Board of Tax Assessors voted March 18 to table consideration of FY2027 budget amendments and the board’s FY2028 proposed budget request until its next scheduled meeting on April 1, 2026. Chief Appraiser James Stokes Jr. presented the proposed amendments and the FY2028 request for the board’s review.
Board member Lydia Rollins moved to table both the FY2027 amendments and the FY2028 proposed assessors budget; Vice‑Chairman Ben Amerson seconded. The motion carried with recorded votes in favor from Ben Amerson, Gary Spinks, Lydia Rollins and Gary Griswell.
Why it matters: tabling the items delays formal action on assessor staffing, software, or other line items that would be reflected in the FY2028 request and prevents changes to the FY2027 amended budget from taking effect until after additional review. The board did not adopt any budget changes at the March 18 meeting.
Chief Appraiser Stokes introduced the budget items for the board’s consideration but did not request immediate adoption; instead, the board elected to postpone substantive review to allow more time for members to examine the proposals and supporting materials.
Next steps: the board will reconsider the FY2027 amendments and the FY2028 Assessors proposed budget at the April 1, 2026 Board of Assessors meeting.
