Registration tax on mortgages hurts Douglas County economy

The newly enacted filing tax on mortgages would deeply reduce county revenue. Officials estimate mortgage enlistments at 303,700 for last year with city totals at 7,065 and city tax intake of 8,030.27. County revenue would drop to about 4,000 annually, then vanish for four years until renewals. County loses around 7,500 yearly overall. The change shifts burden to general taxpayers despite fairness to local investors.
