HOUSTON COUNTY: In the 2026 session of the Alabama Legislature Incumbent Houston County Revenue Commissioner Greg Holland was the moving factor of legislation to help Veteran’s.
The local legislative delegation, Paul Lee, Rick Rehm, Donnie Chesteen, Steve Clouse, Jeff Sorrells and Billy Beasley were 100% supportive when Revenue Commissioner Greg Holland approached them with the idea.
The State of Alabama sets the laws, policies and procedures Revenue Commissioners across the State of Alabama are required to follow. The Veteran’s were having to renew the residential property tax exemptions each year or the benefit would by lost by the Veteran.
Holland put in to change that. He approached the local legislative delegation about it. Legislation was developed and introduced by the local delegation and passed by the 2026 Alabama Legislature. Out of 67 counties across Alabama, Houston County Revenue Commissioner Greg Holland saw the problem and was proactive in solving the problem.
Now, once the exemptions are made the Veteran does not have to renew it each year.
