Sullivan County Budget Leaders Are Pushing For A 27-Cent Property Tax Hike. 14-Cents Of The Increase Would Go Toward The General Fund While The Remainder Would Go Toward The School System. County Leaders Put A Stipulation Requiring 3-Cents Of The Hike To Be Earmarked Just For The School System’s Renovation Fund. The Budget Committee’s Recommendation Will Now Have To Go Before The Full Commission For Final Approval.
