State Tax Rate Raised to 72 On $100 Valuation
The Automatic Tax Board set a 72 cent ad valorem tax per $100 valuation, up from 87 cents, effective October 1. The 72 cents funds 35 cents for general revenue, 35 cents for the Available School Fund, and 2 cents for the Confederate Veteran Pension Fund. The board, comprising Gov Beauford Jester, Seon George Sheppard, and Jesse James, acted after calculations showing needed appropriations of $13,753,443 for general revenue and $36,654,450 for the Available School Fund.
