County Commissioners decide to put Transfer Tax to Vote

Despite overwhelming opposition, Orange County Board of Commissioners agreed last night to put the .4% Land Transfer Tax (to be paid on the sale of real property) on the ballot for the May 6th primary. They decided not to put the .25% Sales Tax option on the ballot, citing they felt it was "regressive" although this is a tax that would be shared by everyone.

This Tax being added to the ballot is just one more reason to make sure on May 6th that you go out and vote.
