TIPTON COUNTY EXECUTIVE
The purpose of this Notification Proclamation is to officially waive all residential tipping fees (landfill permits) for Tipton County residents. Due to the recent severe weather event, and considering the devastating effects of the storm on property and lives, it is altogether fitting and proper that a waiver be applied to landfill fees for Tipton County residents. This waiver is to begin April 3, 2023 and continue thru May 6, 2023. Again, this waiver is for Tipton County Residents only.
Safeguarding the life and property of its citizens is an innate responsibility of the governing body of each political subdivision of this state. Pursuant to Chapter 8 T.C.A. Sections 58-8-101 thru 58-8-115 and T.C.A. Section 58-2-110, as well as Section 54-7-11(c)(1)(c) I hereby declare a State of Emergency to exist in Tipton County, Tennessee. This local State of Emergency exists effective March 31, 2023 and is to continue until rescinded by official decree. Purchases related to the weather disaster that occurred on March 31, 2023 are exempt under these statutory provisions and are considered to be emergency purchases. The Emergency Declaration also includes T.C.A. Section 49-2-203(a)(3)(B)(ii)(b) which waives the newspaper advertisement requirement for purchases over $25,000 for the local LEA.
