Rural county development sales tax scheduled in Senate
The extension of the rural county sales tax (.09 sales tax) passed the House unanimously and is set for executive session in the Senate Local Government Committee. Cities partner with counties to use this revenue for economic development projects.
HB 1267 would clarify eligibility for counties that exceeded the population threshold after imposition and extend
authority to impose the tax until 2054. Some counties are getting close to the expiration of the tax which is currently set at 25 years after imposition.
Date to remember
HB 1267 is scheduled for executive session in the Senate Local Government, Land Use & Tribal Affairs Committee on Tuesday, March 14 at 8 am.
