QUESTION
Shall
Columbia
County
impose
$0.10/$1,000 of assessed value for five
years beginning in 2001 -2002 for the Coun
ty Fairgrounds? This measure may cause
property taxes to increase more than three
percent.
SUMMARY
The Columbia County Fair Board is re
sponsible for the presentation of the annu
al Columbia County Fair and the manage
ment of the fairgrounds and buildings for
the benefit of the many youths and adults
who use the facilities throughout the year.
Funds available to the Fair Board are no
longer adequate to operate, repair and
maintain the fairgrounds or make other
necessary improvements.
The Columbia County Board of Com
missioners, in consultation with the Fair
Board, has agreed to present to the voters
of Columbia County this Local Option Tax
request.
The purpose of this tax is to raise funds
necessary to operate, repair, maintain and
otherwise improve the grounds and build
ings currently located on the fairgrounds.
The estimated tax on a $100,000 prop
erty would be $10.00 per year for five
years. The proposed rate will raise approx
imately $289,641 in 2001-2002, $295,549
in 2002-2003, $304,416 in 2003-2004,
$313,548 in 2004-2005, and $322,955 in
2005-2006, for a total of approximately
$1,526,109.
