Dodge County commissioners adopt 2025 rollback and countywide millage rates
Summary
At a called meeting Oct. 30, the Dodge County Board of Commissioners adopted a 2025 rollback millage rate of 10.755 mills and a countywide millage rate of 24.755 mills, the latter including a 14.000-mill levy for the Dodge County Board of Education.
The Dodge County Board of Commissioners voted Thursday, Oct. 30, 2025, to adopt the county's 2025 rollback millage rate of 10.755 mills and a countywide millage rate of 24.755 mills, which includes a 14.000-mill levy for the Dodge County Board of Education. The called meeting began at 6:00 p.m. at the Dodge County Pearl Bates Courthouse Annex with Chairman Dan McCranie presiding.
Commissioner Leigh Ann Greene moved to adopt the rollback millage rate of 10.755 mills for Dodge County's 2025 ad valorem tax rate, as calculated under OCGA § 48-5-32. Vice-Chair Brian Watkins seconded the motion; the board voted unanimously to approve it. Later in the same meeting, Commissioner Jeffrey Jones moved to adopt a countywide millage rate of 24.755 mills for the 2025 tax year, combining the county portion of 10.755 mills with 14.000 mills for the Dodge County Board of Education. Commissioner Sharon Cobb Flanagan seconded; the motion likewise passed with all commissioners voting in favor.
The motions recorded in the minutes show no roll-call breakdown beyond "all voted in favor." Commissioners listed as present were Chairman Dan McCranie, Sharon Cobb Flanagan (District 1), Leigh Ann Greene (District 2), Vice-Chair Brian Watkins (District 3) and Jeffrey Jones (District 4). The meeting minutes record the meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m., included the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer, and adjourned at 6:01 p.m. after a motion by Commissioner Brian Watkins, seconded by Commissioner Leigh Ann Greene. County Clerk Kimberly Smith-Parkerson attested and the chairman approved the minutes.
Why it matters: The rollback millage establishes the county's portion of the property tax rate for 2025; the countywide rate informs total property tax bills for local taxpayers because it combines county and school board levies. The minutes cite the calculation method under OCGA § 48-5-32, the Georgia statute that governs rollback millage computations.
What the record shows: Both millage-rate motions passed by unanimous vote at the called meeting; no public comment, amendments, or dissent are recorded in the meeting minutes. The minutes do not list individual yea/nay votes beyond the notation that all voted in favor.
