Turnout huge as residents weigh proposed county taxes

One would create a 1 percent real estate transfer tax on home purchases, costing first time buyers about 1370 on a 127000 home. Realtors oppose it citing higher closing costs, while builders argue a transfer tax is more equitable and targets those moving into existing homes to fund schools and services. Continued on Page A-4.
