Finance committee adopts 2026 millage rate; Hammond alternative tax rolls off
Summary
The Tangipahoa Parish Finance Committee adopted the 2026 millage resolution June 2, 2026, renewing the constitutional 4-mill levy and the Hammond magnet school tax while noting the Hammond alternative tax will not be levied this year.
The Tangipahoa Parish Finance Committee voted June 2, 2026 to adopt the 2026 millage rate, approving renewal of the regular millage and school-related levies for the coming year.
Explaining the measure, Mr. McNeely said the action renews the annual millage for the parish. "There is no reassessment this year so we don't have to jump through all the hoops," he said, and added the package includes the constitutional 4-mill levy and the Hammond magnet school tax; the Hammond alternative tax "rolls off" and will not be levied this year.
A motion to adopt the 2026 millage rate was made by Dominguez (the transcript records the mover once as "Mr. Dominguez"; the roll call identified Miss Dominguez) and seconded by Mr. Anthony. The committee vote was recorded as: Mr. West Morland — yes; Mr. Anthony — yes; Dominguez — yes; Mr. Moore — yes. The chair announced the motion passed.
By adopting the resolution the committee renewed existing millage levies for 2026; no reassessment or new millage was approved. The meeting then moved on to other business and adjourned.
