Paulding County Board of Assessors posts agenda on March 25 with budget items, covenant reviews and an appeal

The Paulding County Board of Assessors met March 25, 2026, at 10 a.m. in Room 3082 at 240 Constitution Blvd. in Dallas, Ga., and the meeting agenda lists budget items, conservation covenant reviews, an audit report and an appeal. Chairman Johnny McBurrows is named as calling the meeting to order and leading the invocation; the transcript provided is the agenda document and contains no recorded discussion, motions, or votes.

Why it matters: Items on the board’s agenda affect property assessments and conservation-use status for land within Paulding County. Proposed budget amendments for FY2027 and the FY2028 proposed budget could affect the assessors’ office operations and, indirectly, assessment administration; the agenda notes those budget items were tabled from the March 18 meeting.

What the agenda lists:
- Budget: The agenda cites "FY2027 Budget Amendments and FY2028 Proposed Budget" as old business tabled from the March 18 meeting; no dollar amounts or votes are given in the transcript.

- Conservation covenants: Items include review of 2026 new and renewal covenant applications, 2026 covenant continuation applications, and release of conservation use covenants that have reached term expiration. The agenda notes the Georgia Department of Revenue has adopted land values relevant to Conservation Use Assessment and the Forest Land Protection Act; the board’s agenda does not include staff recommendations or parcel-level details.

- Personal property audit: The agenda names "Personal Property Audit Results With 45-Day Change of Assessment" and indicates E&R/NOD (Error & Return/Notice of Determination) are included; the transcript does not specify affected accounts, assessed amounts, or next steps.

- Motor vehicle appeal: The agenda identifies a motor vehicle appeal for Ronald Shaw; the transcript contains only the appellant’s name and the item listing with no summary or outcome.

- E&R / NODs for consideration: The agenda concludes with E&R and NOD items for the board’s consideration; specific case identifiers and recommendations are not included in the provided text.

Next steps and record: The agenda lists the March 18 minutes for consideration; the transcript provided here is the agenda only. The minutes, staff reports, or the meeting’s full transcript or video (if available) would be required to determine whether the board discussed any of the listed items or took formal action.
