Chattooga County Sole Commissioner Andy Allen says the county made it through the 2025 budget year without using a Tax Anticipation Note (TAN), a common short-term borrowing tool used by local governments to cover expenses while waiting for tax revenues to come in.
Spending at the Chattooga County Jail has surpassed $1 million, a costly milestone now drawing closer attention from county leaders and taxpayers. Chattooga County Sheriff Mark Schrader reported the figure as officials continue to monitor rising detention costs and their impact on the county budget.
