NATCHEZ — The Adams County Board of Supervisors will hear Monday any objections to personal tax assessments for the coming year.

The public hearing at which the objections can be aired will be 9 a.m. Monday in the boardroom of the supervisors’ offices on State Street.

“If there is anybody objecting to their taxes, we will take that information,” Supervisors President Darryl Grennell said. “The board will hear it, and a lot of times the tax assessor will be here to review it and come back to the board with a recommendation.”

Adams County Tax Assessor Reynolds Atkins said all residents had a 10-day period during which they could object to the assessed value of their properties in his office, a period that ended Friday.

“We were able to satisfy all of those who came by,” he said.

Atkins said the total value of all properties in Adams County for the coming year is $1,297,107,058.

The assessed value — the number from which tax rates will be set — is $236,185,611, Atkins said.

“It is up 2 to 3 percent from last year, but it is all from new growth,” Atkins said. “We picked up a lot of stuff at the port and new houses.”

During Monday’s meeting, the supervisors will also decide if the county will adopt a system of building codes for areas outside the Natchez city limits, where building codes are already in force.

The action is prompted by a measure that passed the state legislature earlier this year that requires all counties without building codes to adopt one of three standardized code books endorsed by the state.

The same measure allows counties to opt out of adopting codes, however, and Grennell said the county will not likely opt in.

“That’s how I feel, and I think that is the way the majority of the board feels,” he said.
