The Wilson County Commission received its annual appraiser’s report at this week’s meeting.

 

Wilson County Appraiser Jessica Porter delivered the report, which states that the total appraised value for the 2025-26 year has increased by around $16 million.

 

The appraised value of real estate in Wilson County has risen by around $19 million. Porter says the only thing that went down this year was personal property, which is due to new exemptions.

 

The total $16 million figure is only the appraised value; the assessed value will now be determined for tax purposes.

 

In other business, the Wilson County Commission discussed the possibility of a bond or a sales tax to address local roads that have become dilapidated.

 

County Commissioner Andrew Miller says that with how much work needs to be done, significant funds must be raised.

 

The roads discussed as needing work are in rural areas of Wilson County, such as Coyville, New Albany, and Buxton.
