Placement of the FLOST measure on the November election ballot
The story
A county financial report noted in mid-2025 that Stephens County was considering placing a FLOST — a sales tax measure — on the ballot sometime in fiscal year 2027.
At the Board of Commissioners' annual retreat in January 2026, Chairman Rickman asked staff to begin preparing documentation for a FLOST to go before voters in the November election cycle. No vote has been recorded on the measure itself.
