Summary
At a called meeting Oct. 9, the Dodge County Board of Commissioners adopted a rollback millage rate of 10.755 mills and approved a combined countywide rate of 24.755 mills for the 2025 tax year, citing OCGA § 48-5-32. All present commissioners voted in favor; the meeting lasted about one minute after the motions were made.
The Dodge County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 9 approved the county—s 2025 ad valorem tax rates, adopting a rollback county rate of 10.755 mills and a combined countywide rate of 24.755 mills that includes 14.000 mills for the Dodge County Board of Education.
Commissioner Jeffrey Jones moved to "adopt the rollback millage rate of 10.755 mills for the County's 2025 ad valorem tax rate, as calculated in accordance with OCGA — 48-5-32," and Commissioner Sharon Cobb Flanagan seconded. All present voted in favor and the motion passed, the minutes state.
Commissioner Flanagan then moved to "adopt the countywide millage rate of 24.755 mills for the 2025 tax year, which includes 10.755 mills for Dodge County and 14.000 mills for the Dodge County Board of Education." Commissioner Jeffrey Jones seconded; again all present voted in favor and the motion passed.
Chairman Dan McCranie presided over the called meeting, which began at 6:19 p.m. at the Dodge County Pearl Bates Courthouse Annex. Commissioners present for the vote were Chairman Dan McCranie, Commissioner Sharon Cobb Flanagan (District 1) and Commissioner Jeffrey Jones (District 4). Leigh Ann Greene (District 2) and Vice-Chair Brian Watkins (District 3) were listed as absent. County staff listed as present in the minutes included Attorney John Harrington, Manager Conner Bearden and Clerk Kimberly Smith-Parkerson.
The motions referenced OCGA — 48-5-32 in calculating the rollback millage rate. The meeting adjourned at 6:20 p.m.
No additional public comment, amendments or alternate motions were recorded in the minutes; the record shows two formal motions (adopting the rollback rate and adopting the countywide combined rate) and unanimous votes by those present. The minutes were attested and signed by County Clerk Kimberly Smith-Parkerson and Chairman Dan McCranie.
Next steps: the adopted millage rates will be reflected in the county—s tax roll for 2025 and in notices required by state law; the minutes do not specify further hearings or appeals.
