Century To Collect County’s New Property Tax For Libraries
January 10, 2013
The Century Town Council is supporting a new Escambia County property tax as a dedicated funding source for the county’s library system. Countywide, the tax will generate an estimated $3.7 million for library operations.
At their January 28 meeting, the Century Town Council is expected to give final approval to an ordinance allowing for the MSTU to be collected within the town. The tax is estimated to cost the average Century resident from $1 to $7 on their property tax bill beginning next year.
The property tax will also apply to Pensacola residents and those in the unincorporated areas of Escambia County.
