Council amends and adopts special assessment program for rehabilitated historic properties
Summary
Council approved an amended version of Ordinance No. 848 (special property tax assessment program for rehabilitated historic properties) to correct nomenclature and an intergovernmental agreement with the town of Winnsboro; amendment and final adoption passed 7-0.
Fairfield County Council considered Ordinance No. 848, which would add a chapter establishing a special property tax assessment program for rehabilitated historic properties and authorize an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Town of Winnsboro.
A council member moved to replace the ordinance version with the packet version to proceed to third reading; the motion was seconded. Council members clarified the proposed amendments were primarily nomenclature changes to correct the name used in the ordinance and IGA, replacing an earlier incorrect reference with the "Town of Winnsboro Board of Architectural Review." One member stated the changes were not substantive and that the town had reviewed the IGA.
The council approved the amendment and then approved the ordinance as amended; the record shows the vote on both the amendment and the final approval as 7-0. The transcript does not record further implementation steps or details of the IGA beyond that the town reviewed the document.
