Taylor County Board of County Commissioners

The Taylor County Board of County Commissioners held a meeting on September 15, 2026, primarily focused on the first public hearing for the fiscal year 2026-2027 budget and millage rates. The board reviewed the certified property values, proposed millage rates, and overall budget totaling approximately $117.6 million. They discussed revenue increases, grant funding comprising about 42% of the budget, and adjustments made after budget workshops, including capital improvement projects such as coastal park construction and airport hangar development. The board voted to tentatively adopt the millage rates for the general fund (7.2426 mills) and MSTU fund (1.2250 mills), as well as the tentative budget. A final budget hearing was scheduled for the following Monday to adopt the final numbers.
