Budget committee approves Sevier County's 2026-27 budget package, sets certified rate at $0.87
Summary
Sevier County's Budget Committee voted unanimously on June 4 to approve the proposed 2026-27 budget package, set a proposed certified property tax rate of $0.87, and forward the package to the full Board of Commissioners, subject to changes under $150,000.
The Sevier County Board of Commissioners Budget Committee voted unanimously on June 4 to approve the county's proposed 2026-27 budget package and send it to the full Board for final approval. Commissioner Warren Hurst moved to approve the proposed budget, subject to any changes under $150,000, and Commissioner Michael Maddron seconded the motion; the committee approved it without opposition.
Mayor Larry Waters told the committee that "The proposed certified rate is $0.87," and said the Equalization Board was holding hearings for appraisal value adjustments. The committee's action forwards the full set of county funds and nonprofit requests to the Board of Commissioners, with staff and county leaders to return with any adjustments smaller than the $150,000 threshold before final adoption.
