Elmer City considers tab tax

Elmer City hopes to establish a Transportation Benefit District (TBD) which will allow the town to collect $20 on most new licenses issued for vehicles.

The town will have a public hearing on the issue at 6:45, Thursday, Dec. 10, and will have an ordinance on the agenda that night for passage.

The town council has indicated that any funds generated through a Transportation Benefit District would go into the town’s street fund for the improvement of town streets.

After the TBD has been in effect for 24 months, the town may collect $40 per vehicle license.

The town council will act as the independent and governing body of any TBD formed.

The public is invited to appear and make comment on the TBD ordinance.
