The Worth County Bill
Worth County proposes home tax cut funded by sales tax
Worth County; ad valorem tax; provide homestead exemption
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
The bill would let homeowners in Worth County pay less property tax by giving them an exemption, but it would raise a new local sales tax to pay for it.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, homeowners could keep more of their money. Other shoppers will face a higher sales tax. Voters should decide if the tax cut is worth the extra cost for everyone.
