Orange County 1% Sales Tax for School Construction
Orange County, Virginia
My vote power: High
What does this measure do?
This lets Orange County add a sales tax of up to 1% until 2046, with all the money going to build or majorly renovate schools, including paying off school loans. Shoppers would pay more on taxable purchases, raising about $5.6 million a year, if supervisors start the tax.
