The Jackson Parish Ward Two Fire Protection District Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 on July 14 to adopt a tax millage of 19.720.
Chairman Charles Hopkins moved to adopt the millage and Commissioner George Gryder seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The vote took place after the board reordered the agenda to consider the tax millage as the first New Business item.
The board reviewed the financial report for the month ending June 30, 2026, and the presentation of bills and accepted both as presented. Vice Chairman Ricky Cash presided over the meeting and the board completed routine approvals, including acceptance of the June meeting minutes and departmental reports, by unanimous votes.
The millage adoption sets the rate the district will use in calculating property taxes for the coming period. The board did not specify additional enacted budget allocations or projected revenue changes tied to the adopted rate during the meeting.
The meeting was called to order at 7:01 p.m.; after New Business the board discussed maintenance and signage items for Ward Two, then adjourned at 7:43 p.m.
