PRESCOTT, Arkansas — At the June meeting of the Nevada County Quorum Court, the justices of the peace voted, 7-2, to place an issue on the Nov. 5 ballot seeking a 3/4 cent sales tax.
It’s being said this isn’t a new tax because it’s a continuation of the one-cent tax originally passed to build the Nevada County Jail. The original tax saw 3/4 of a cent going to pay off the jail with a sunshine clause to end when the jail’s paid off. The other 1/4 cent is a permanent tax to fund the jail.
Money from the proposed tax would be placed in the county general fund to be used as the county deems necessary. Collection of the tax would begin Oct. 1, 2025 as the original tax ends Sept. 30, 2025.
