Davidson County adopts resolution urging state to preserve local sales tax authority
Summary
The Board adopted a resolution urging the North Carolina General Assembly to preserve counties’ ability to use local sales tax revenue, citing concerns about proposals to shift or repurpose such funds.
The Davidson County Board of Commissioners on June 9 unanimously adopted a resolution urging the North Carolina General Assembly to preserve counties’ local sales tax authority and the ability to use that revenue for services including education and other county needs.
County staff described the resolution as a response to discussions in Raleigh about proposals that would reallocate local sales tax revenue. The resolution, read into the record by a county official, calls on the General Assembly to "preserve and protect these vital local revenue sources to ensure counties can continue to meet the growing needs of their residents," and directs copies be shared with the General Assembly and other stakeholders.
A motion to approve the resolution was made and the board voted in favor on a voice vote.
Ending: The resolution will be distributed to state legislators and county‑level associations as the county seeks to influence pending state proposals.
