Logan County Courthouse Referendum meetings to be held in Atlanta February 24th and 25th
Lincoln meeting being planned as well

 

[February 22, 2020] 

Current voting through March 17, 2020 will have a proposal for a Logan County $.50 per $100.00 sales tax on personal tangible goods. This sales tax will be utilized to pay for repairs and restoration of the Logan County Courthouse. This referendum has a 20 year sunset (expiration) clause; funds may only be used to restore, repair and provide continued maintenance to the Logan County Courthouse. This sales tax will not affect any Logan County property taxes and will not be charged on groceries or prescriptions. Utilization of a “sales tax” will allow the county to procure funding from our visitors and friends who frequent our county, its many historical sites, parks and recreational areas.

In order to allow the public an opportunity to present questions, current County Board members will be answering inquiries and addressing public concerns at “town hall” meetings at various communities throughout the county.
