Hello, Baldwin County! My name is Kallie C. Kitchings, and I am honored to serve as your new Tax Commissioner.
It has been a privilege and honor to work alongside and learn from our former Tax Commissioner, Cathy Freeman Settle, for the past 6 years. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and mentorship, and I will carry the lessons she taught me into this new role.
As I begin this next chapter, I look forward to working with our dedicated staff to provide friendly, dependable service to the citizens of Baldwin County.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve this community. I am excited for the road ahead!

❤️ THANK YOU ❤️

On behalf of our office, we would like to sincerely thank everyone for the kindness and love you have shown us as Cathy’s work family during this difficult time. The kind words of sympathy, cards, flowers, food, and every thoughtful gesture have meant more to us than words can express.

Cathy was so much more than our Tax Commissioner. She was our friend, mentor, and a huge part of our office family. She loved this community so much and dedicated 31 years of her life to serving it.

She will be deeply missed by the community she loved so dearly and by all of us here in the office.

Thank you for keeping our office family and Cathy’s loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. Your kindness and support have brought us comfort during a time when our hearts are heavy.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Baldwin County Tax Commissioner’s Office ❤️

It is with incredibly heavy hearts that we share the passing of our Tax Commissioner of 31 years, Cathy Freeman Settle.
Although she officially retired on September 30, after more than three decades of dedicated service to our community, we never imagined that her retirement would be so brief. We were heartbroken to lose not only our longtime Tax Commissioner, but a friend, mentor, boss, and someone who was a huge part of our family.
For 31 years, she faithfully served the people of our community with dedication, knowledge, strength, and a commitment to doing her job well. Her impact reaches far beyond the walls of this office. She touched countless lives through her years of service, and she leaves behind a legacy that will never be forgotten.
For those of us who had the privilege of working alongside her, her absence will be felt in ways that words cannot fully express. The office will look different without her, and so will our lives.
We are incredibly grateful for the years we were blessed to work with her, learn from her, laugh with her, and call her our boss—and, most importantly, our friend.
She will forever be a part of this office and a part of our hearts.
Please keep her family and all those who knew and loved her in your thoughts and prayers.
