Harrison County Commissioners Court held a fiscal year 2026–27 budget and tax public hearing and regular meeting on September 17, 2026, according to the transcript. The Court discussed the proposed budget and tax rate, then unanimously adopted the county’s ad valorem tax rate and approved ratifying a property-tax collection increase of $2,223,467. Commissioners cited substantial budget pressures, including about $500,000 to complete the Motorola radio system and roughly $2 million for motor graders, potentially through financing. They also discussed road-and-bridge costs and work completed on about 35 miles of roads. The Court approved county-official salary and allowance settings, clerk records plans, juror pay, and several court staff appointments and salaries; commissioners emphasized that elected officials would receive no raises. A public hearing also covered the proposed tax impact and county spending needs.

The Court approved technical training for justice-of-the-peace offices and clerks, to be paid from the JP technology fund, and approved the upcoming fiscal-year court calendar. Commissioners discussed options for the county employee holiday schedule, but the transcript does not capture a final decision on that item. No specific vendor award or new competitive solicitation was identified.
