Summary

The bill lets the Wilcox County Commission increase the county’s board and county ad valorem tax from 10 mills to as much as 19 mills per dollar of assessed value starting in the 2027 tax year. The extra nine mills would be split, with two mills going to the county general fund and seven mills to the Board of Education, and the change only takes effect if a majority of qualified voters approve it. This maintains the overall tax burden while redirecting revenue to local priorities.
