Summary
At a Sept. 15 meeting in Tahoka, the Lynn County Commissioners Court unanimously accepted the proposed FY 2025–26 budget and approved a proposed tax rate of 0.652365; public hearings on both items are set for Sept. 29, 2025, at 9:30 a.m.
On Sept. 15, 2025, the Lynn County Commissioners Court unanimously accepted the proposed fiscal year 2025–26 budget and approved a proposed tax rate of 0.652365.
County Judge Mike Braddock asked the court whether members had questions or wished to change the proposed budget; none did. Commissioner Matt Woodley moved to accept the proposed FY 2025–26 budget, and Commissioner John Hawthorne seconded. The court voted in favor; the motion carried. Commissioner Larry Durham moved to accept the proposed tax rate of 0.652365, with Commissioner Gass seconding; that motion also carried unanimously.
The court set public hearings on both the budget and the tax rate for Sept. 29, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. Commissioner Gass moved to set the budget hearing and Commissioner Hawthorne seconded; Commissioner Woodley moved to set the tax-rate hearing with Commissioner Gass seconding. Judge Braddock opened the floor for public comment on agenda items at the start of the meeting; no members of the public spoke during that opportunity.
Adopting the proposed budget and establishing a proposed tax rate are the procedural steps that allow the county to publish notices and hold the required public hearings before final adoption. The court did not specify changes to line items during the meeting and recorded no budget amendments at this session.
Next steps: the court will hold the public hearings on Sept. 29, 2025, at 9:30 a.m., after which it may adopt a final budget and tax rate following statutory notice and hearing requirements.
