Madison County sets property tax hearing for April 1 at 6 p.m.

The Madison County Board of Supervisors agreed to set the county’s property‑tax hearing for April 1 at 6:00 p.m. and to hold the budget hearing later in April. Staff noted statutory mailing and publication deadlines: the property‑tax mailing must be sent in advance (mailing by the 20th was discussed) and hearings should be scheduled to allow required notice windows.

Speaker 1 said she will prepare a formal resolution to set the hearing dates and circulate meeting invites. Board members favored an evening hearing to maximize public participation and assigned staff to publish notices and prepare the budget materials for the scheduled public meetings.

Next steps: staff to prepare and publish the resolution setting the property‑tax hearing, mail required notices in compliance with statute, and publish the budget hearing notice once hearing dates are finalized.
