Colquitt County Board of Commissioners: the senior-and-veteran tax-relief ask of January 7, 2025

The board. The county's County Commissioners page: "All Colquitt County Board of Commissioners meetings are open to the public ... Work Sessions: Proceeding each Regular Meeting, Colquitt County Courthouse Annex, Administrative Conference Room, Room 261-C, 2nd Floor - 5:00 p.m. Regular Meetings: First Tuesday of Every Month, Colquitt County Courthouse Annex, Commissioners Meeting Room, Second Floor, Room 201, 7:00 p.m. Called Meetings: Held on 3rd Tuesday of Every Month ... 5:00 p.m." The members and their terms: Barbara Jelks, District One (229-529-7621; term 01/01/2023-12/31/2026); Chris Hunnicutt, District Two (229-456-0245; 01/01/2025-12/31/2028); Marc DeMott, District Three (229-985-5661; 01/01/2023-12/31/2026); a vacant District Four; Paul Nagy, District Five (229-891-8072; 01/01/2023-12/31/2026); Johnny Hardin, District Six (229-891-6373; 01/01/2025-12/31/2028); Denver F. Braswell, Chairman, District Seven (229-873-7126; 01/01/2023-12/31/2026). County Administrator Charles H. "Chas" Cannon, IV, office 261-A, phone (229) 616-7404. Prior years' minutes are available from County Clerk Melissa Lawson, 229-616-7409, [email protected], and "Minutes are not posted to our website until officially adopted by the Board of Commissioners." The veteran item. The regular-meeting minutes of January 7, 2025: "Mrs. Stone encouraged the Board to look for options to help senior citizens and veterans with high property tax assessments and resulting tax bills." The minutes record no board response - no motion, no referral, no resolution. (The same meeting's discussion of the FLOST referendum and the tax-assessment appeal before it is the context; the Tax Commissioner named in the exchange is Cindy S. Harvin.) The county's homestead routes are on the Tax Commissioner's entry above. The rest of the window. The clerk's 2025 and 2026 year pages carried 102 agenda, work-session, budget-hearing and minutes PDFs; every one was downloaded from the county's document store and read whole on 2026-11-03. The Stone comment is the window's only veteran item - a February 4, 2025 mention of Veterans Parkway is a road name - and no benefit is known to have been adopted, narrowed or repealed. The circuit's own Colquitt County Treatment Court page describes a Substance Abuse/Mental Health Treatment Court Program (Superior Court Judge W. Michael Burnham, II; Program Director Jennifer S. Fabbri, JD; Case Manager Heather King; office (229) 616-7445) with five phases of 20-27 months and no veterans track, and the Council of Accountability Court Judges' directory gives Colquitt a Drug Court and no veterans court.
