(KNZA)--The Jackson County Commission will host a special meeting Monday evening, September 30th to discuss the possibility of increasing the county sales tax by one percent.
The meeting will take place at 6:00 in the first floor meeting room at the Jackson County Courthouse.
The meeting comes after some residents in attendance at last month's budget hearing voiced support for raising the county sales tax in order to help reduce the county mill levy.
Jackson County currently has a 1.4 percent sales tax rate, which includes a special four-tenth percent sales tax for road and bridge improvements, and for each of the county's cities.
Any new proposed tax would have to be approved by local voters. Before going to vote, the Kansas Legislature would also have to pass a bill giving the county the authority to raise the sales tax.
