Posted on Monday, February 9, 2026  by Austin Dalton

RUTLEDGE – The Grainger County Commission will meet Monday, February 9, at 7 p.m. at the Grainger County Justice Center with several notable items scheduled for discussion and action.

Among the major agenda items is a resolution authorizing Grainger County to apply for a federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. Commissioners are also expected to consider a resolution authorizing a continuous four-year property reappraisal cycle beginning July 1, 2026 with a comprehensive countywide revaluation planned for tax year 2030. The plan is designed to keep property values aligned with state requirements and market conditions.

Another item expected to draw discussion is a proposal to relocate and reconstruct the old Grainger County Courthouse near its current location. Commissioners will also consider the possible sale of surplus equipment including a broken printer from the Bean Station Library.

The meeting is open to the public. The next regular Grainger County Commission meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 9, at 7 p.m.
