Lincoln County Treasurer provides guide on tax dollar expenditures

Lincoln County Treasurer Jerry Greenfield reports his office has received inquiries as to how tax dollars are directed. Greenfield offered the following summery to SVI Media:

“As your County Treasurer I have received comments, ‘as to the county needs to cut back on its spending,’  said Greenfield. “The fact is the county controls a small portion of your tax dollars, the entities listed below are the controllers of their tax dollars and we (the county) collect those funds and distribute to them.”

He continued, “In this example I will address property and motor vehicles, which are the two largest taxable events. For the taxing year 2020-2021 the Lincoln County Treasurer’s Office collected $55,547,968.53.”

Treasurer Greenfield concluded, “This represents the consumers of your tax dollars. If you feel you are contributing too much, contact the entity’s board that governs the expenditure you feel is out of line.”
