county tax

Regional government revenue

A county tax is a tax levied by a county government to fund local services and infrastructure such as roads, schools, law enforcement, and public health programs.

Property taxes are the most common form of county tax, though counties may also impose sales taxes or other assessments depending on state law.

Our county tax went up this year to pay for the new courthouse.
