Resident urges annexation clarity, appeals extension and resending of tax notices
Summary
During the public hearing on the millage, resident Susan Strickland urged the board to address city annexations, extend the property-value appeals period by 45 days and resend tax notices after the millage vote; she also supported higher pay for deputies.
At the opening of the public hearing on the proposed 2025 millage, Susan Strickland spoke to the board about several concerns she said affect county property owners.
Strickland asked the board to address city annexations and requested that the county extend the property-value appeals period by 45 days and resend tax notices after the millage rate vote. She also asked for additional signage at the County Annex and expressed support for higher pay for Houston County deputies. The transcript records her requests but does not show a formal response or action by the board during the meeting.
The county subsequently adopted the tax resolutions later in the meeting; the transcript does not indicate whether the board agreed to the specific procedural requests Strickland made about appeals timing or tax notices, so those points remain matters for follow-up with county staff.
