Blount, Madison counties to host ACCA District Meetings this week
ACCA’s fall 2025 District Meetings will continue this week, with one scheduled for tomorrow evening in Blount County and another Wednesday night in Madison County. More than 150 county and municipal leaders are expected to participate in this week’s meetings, which always serve as a critical component to county government’s success in the coming state legislative session. Dozens of mayors attended the first two meetings, and the ACCA staff extends its sincere gratitude to the County Commissioners who encouraged their participation. County Commissioners who have yet to invite their mayors are urged to do so now and to register themselves and their municipal leaders for one of the four remaining meetings taking place this fall.
Legislative development, preparation to continue this week with focus on tax collection issues
Today, the ACCA Policy Team will sit down for a 2026 policy planning discussion with leaders of the Association of Alabama tax Administrators, the statewide association for County Revenue Commissioners and other tax-collecting county officials. The purpose of the meeting is to explore and discuss potential tax issues that may arise during the 2026 Legislative Session and to develop a plan to work together to continue protecting the processes and procedures for collecting county tax revenue. Similar meetings with leadership from the Alabama Probate Judges Association and the Alabama Sheriffs Association will take place in the months ahead to best prepare county governments to speak with ONE Voice on the statewide policy issues of 2026.
