Dawson County approves full rollback of 2024 millage rate to 5.4630
Summary
At its Aug. 15 voting session Dawson County’s board approved a full rollback of the 2024 property tax rate from 5.6340 to 5.4630; the vote was recorded in the minutes as passing 3-0 after a presentation by Chairman Thurmond and no public comment.
Dawson County’s Board of Commissioners voted on Aug. 15 to approve a full rollback of the 2024 property tax millage rate, reducing it to 5.4630 from the 2023 rate of 5.6340.
Chairman Billy Thurmond provided the board with a presentation about the proposed 2024 millage rate and property tax. After the public-hearing opportunity produced no speakers, the minutes show the motion to adopt the rollback passed 3-0 (mover: Emory Dooley; second: Seth Stowers, as recorded).
Why it matters: the rollback reduces the millage rate charged on taxable property in Dawson County for 2024 compared with 2023, affecting property tax bills for county taxpayers. The minutes do not specify an effective date beyond the recorded action taken at the Aug. 15 meeting.
The minutes list attendance and note two absences (District 3 Commissioner Alexa Bruce and County Attorney Angela Davis) but record votes as 3-0; the record does not explain the discrepancy between attendance and recorded vote totals. No public comment was recorded during the hearing.
