Dickson County Commission — February 2, 2026
With the penny disappearing, the county needs a rule for cash payments like property taxes, court fees, and permits: one or two cents rounds down, three or four rounds up to the nickel. Electronic payments are unaffected, and the mayor says the revenue effect should be negligible. The resolution, modeled on Putnam County's, goes to the February 17 regular session.
