Fayette County directs vehicle taxes to services

The Fayette County clerk must report all collections monthly and send them to the county trustee. All vehicle tax revenue—100%, excluding clerk fees—first goes into the county general fund for any authorized use. During each annual budget process, the county decides how to allocate the money. It can transfer money to the capital projects fund for school construction and other county facilities. It can also transfer money to the debt service fund for principal and interest on debt for those projects. These rules require approval by a two-thirds vote of the county legislative body; no approval date is given.

Fayette County drivers pay vehicle licensing fees

The law requires Fayette County residents to buy a county vehicle license when getting their state vehicle license. The clerk collects the county vehicle tax alongside the state tax, plus a $1 fee per county license. The county license covers the same operating period, and its tax follows the state's proportional registration reduction. The county tax amount is not stated. Proof of payment must be attached to the state license plate; the County Commission chooses its design, paid for from general funds. Current license holders can get a $1 replacement after their vehicle is sold, traded, demolished, destroyed, or otherwise changes ownership. The law takes effect immediately for local approval, but these operating rules require a two-thirds county legislative vote. The presiding officer must announce approval or rejection and certify it to the Secretary of State; no approval date is given.
