Leon County Commission Addresses Budget Issues

During a budget workshop, Leon County Commissioners considered some changes to cut expenses if taxpayers vote to roll back property taxes this fall. At the workshop county officials discussed how the possible loss of property tax revenue could impact Leon County’s budget in the coming years.

They also said there is no other revenue source that can replace the funds generated by property taxes.
