Rankin County, MS Board of Supervisors meeting on date: (7-2-2026 1 of 2)

The Rankin County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on July 2, 2026, addressing several procurement and development-related matters. Key procurement discussions included approval of an interlocal agreement with the newly incorporated Town of Star for ad valorem tax collection services, ensuring the county is reimbursed for assessment and collection work. The board also considered regulatory measures requiring contractors in subdivisions to submit surveys before obtaining clearing and grubbing permits to better manage land development and stormwater impacts. Additionally, the board denied building permit applications for two lots in the Castlewood subdivision due to the absence of required engineered stormwater drainage studies. A public hearing was closed on this matter, with plans to reconvene once the necessary information is submitted. The meeting also included approval of architectural plans for a new multipurpose building for Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church and discussion of a dimensional variance for a lot formerly part of the Sun Chase subdivision. The board voted to enter executive session to discuss contracts and personnel matters.
