County approves fee reimbursements for three tornado-damaged properties
Summary
The commissioners approved reimbursing $300 per property (up to $900 total) in building inspection fees for three properties damaged by the May 9 tornado; the measure passed 5—–1 on roll call.
The board approved a request from Commissioner Lavern Coleman to reimburse building-inspection fees for three properties damaged by the May 9, 2026 tornado. The reimbursement was set at $300 per property, not to exceed $900 total, and applies only to damage resulting from that tornado.
Commissioner Coleman described the storm as devastating and said the fee relief would give residents modest financial assistance. The motion was seconded and, after a roll-call vote (Ayes: Coleman, Bullard, Byrd, Watts, Floyd; Nay: Featherson), passed by a 5——1 margin.
