Bland County board votes to advertise public hearing for proposed $0.42 property tax rate
Summary
At a continued meeting April 17, 2026, the Bland County Board of Supervisors voted 3–1 to advertise a public hearing to consider setting the real property tax rate at $0.42 per $100 assessed value; an earlier motion for $0.40 died on the floor.
The Bland County Board of Supervisors voted 3–1 on April 17, 2026, to advertise a public hearing on a proposed real property tax rate of $0.42 per $100 of assessed value. Supervisor Stephen Kelley moved to advertise the hearing; Supervisor Patrick Groseclose seconded. The roll call was Kelley — yea; Groseclose — yea; Costello — nay; Johnson — yea.
A prior motion by Supervisor Keith Costello to advertise a hearing for a proposed rate of $0.40 per $100 "died on the floor," according to the meeting record; the transcript does not record a second or additional discussion on that motion. County Administrator Cameron Burton also reviewed the FY27 budget at the start of the session, though the transcript provides no numerical details from that review.
The vote to advertise at $0.42 means the county will publish notice and hold a public hearing before adopting any final tax rate, but the transcript does not state a hearing date or the subsequent procedural steps. The board adjourned at the end of the meeting and set its next regular meeting for April 28, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
No public comments or detailed revenue/expenditure figures related to the proposed rate are recorded in this segment of the transcript.
