Choctaw County allows road-funding property tax increases

Effective immediately upon enactment, the law lets Choctaw County raise property taxes to fund only county road and bridge improvements. The increase is capped at five mills, or $5 per $1,000 of assessed property value, for no more than five tax years. The County Commission must adopt a resolution after a public hearing, and a majority of qualified county voters voting must approve. Approval can occur at the next general, primary, constitutional, or special election held for this purpose. Each proposal must list the tax amount, start date, specific projects, and each project's expected completion date. The commission can submit later proposals using the same process. The county can borrow and issue warrants to finance those projects, with warrants paid from this tax revenue.
