Cheatham County tax money funds schools, roads

The law sets how Cheatham County divides the covered tax money after depositing it in the county general fund. It sends 46.67% to the Education Debt Service Fund. Another 46.67% goes to a separate reserve within that fund for debt from buying, building, or rebuilding school buildings. The remaining 6.66% goes to the Highway/Public Works Fund. The county governing body determines tax collection under existing law. These changes require approval by two-thirds of the county legislative body before taking effect. Its presiding officer must announce approval or disapproval and certify that decision to the Secretary of State.
