The story
In November 2025, the Habersham County Board of Tax Assessors discussed the office's current Policies & Procedures at length. On November 25, a motion by John King to table the policies until the board had time to review them passed unanimously. On December 9, a motion by Sonya Turgeon to table them until the January 2026 meeting also passed unanimously.
The board's January 13, 2026 agenda listed the 2026 Policies & Procedures as a proposed item. The minutes for that meeting record a motion by Sonya Turgeon to approve the 2026 Policies and Procedures, which passed unanimously. The minutes for the February 10 meeting record a separate motion by John King to approve the Policies & Procedures, which also passed unanimously.
On August 25, 2026, the board reviewed an updated version of the Policies & Procedures. The minutes say the update changes board meetings to once a month, except in April, May, June and July. The board approved the update unanimously.
