When the curious judge finally allowed the mayor to speak, over the objection of plaintiffs attorney Antonio Spurling, what he had to say, surprised business owners WBRC talked to who were waiting to hear when vertical construction would finally begin.

LOCAL RESULTS: Cullman voters favor senior tax amendment as Republicans lead county returns

Editor’s note: As of 9:15 p.m. Central time Nov. 3, statewide election results remained unofficial and subject to certification. This report reflects Cullman County votes only and does not declare statewide winners. CULLMAN, Ala. – Cullman County voters strongly favored a local property-tax amendment for qualifying senior homeowners in preliminary midterm election returns Tuesday, Nov. 3, while Republican candidates led every candidate race in the county’s available results. With 50 of 51 voting boxes reporting, the local amendment received 23,344 yes votes, or 92.50%, and 1,893 no votes, or 7.50%. The measure would freeze the assessed value of a qualifying homeowner’s primary residence. Applicants must be at least 65 and have used the qualifying single-family property as their principal residence for at least five years immediately before the first tax year claimed. Changes in tax rates and later additions to the property could still increase the tax bill. The proposal allows claims beginning Oct. 1, 2027, based on the property’s Oct. 1, 2026, value. The county’s preliminary count included 27,356 ballots. Countywide tabulations showed 50 of 51 boxes reporting, while legislative and school board contests covering smaller portions of the county had their own reporting totals. All figures remained unofficial.
