The small tax increase would generate $1.1 million for county law enforcement, according to a report from The State.
Lexington County Council is considering a small tax increase that would allow the sheriff's department to hire a few more deputies, according to a report in The State. The plan would generate an extra $1.1 million for county law enforcement and could add up to five more deputies, according to the report. The tax increase could add as much as $4.44 to a Lexington County homeowner's property tax bill for a house valued at $100,000. Discussion of the tax increase surfaced at Tuesday's meeting as county council continues to work on the budget for the new fiscal year starting July 1. Read more from The State.
