Chaves County to petition Congress on PILT funding
Chaves County Commission approves a resolution urging Congress to provide full PILT funding for fiscal year 2015 and seek a sustainable long term solution. The measure notes about 32 percent of county land is federally owned and PILT delivers roughly 12 percent of annual revenue. Local officials say full property tax compensation could double the county budget.
