Sandy Oaks City Council adopted three ordinances on July 9, approving revisions to development fees, garage-sale regulations and a residential rental registration program, and approved post-executive-session administrative payments.
The council voted to adopt Ordinance 2026-277 to amend the schedule of fees charged when submitting plats or development plans; the mayor pro tem moved adoption and council waived a second reading. Council directed staff to place a caption of the ordinance in the Wilson County News for publication.
Council also adopted Ordinance 2026-278, amending city rules governing garage sales, and Ordinance 2026-279, which updates registration and inspection provisions for residential rental properties. Council members discussed logistics for rental inspections — including whether outside building inspectors would perform the work or whether the city’s code officer would handle initial enforcement — before approving Ordinance 2026-279 and waiving its second reading.
In executive-session follow-up, council approved payment of an invoice for municipal-judge services for March–May 2026 not to exceed $3,582.50 and approved a $1.25 hourly increase for the animal-control technician effective the next pay period.
Why it matters: The fee changes, regulatory updates and the new rental-registration requirement will affect developers, garage-sale organizers and rental-property owners in Sandy Oaks; the rental-inspection language still requires the city to finalize who performs inspections and how enforcement will be staffed.
What’s next: Staff was directed to publish the required captions and to continue refining operational details for rental inspections and vendor/contracted services for both inspections and animal-control veterinary needs.
