TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - The referendum establishing a Children’s Services Council in Leon County has passed.
With 100% of precincts reporting, 99,816 votes in favor of the CSC were tallied, while 51,955 votes against it were recorded. That translates to 65.77% of voters in favor of the council, while 34.23% were against it.
Critics of the referendum say a pandemic is not the right time for a new property tax. Supporters of the CSC say the children in this community can’t wait.
The amount people will pay in taxes as a result of the referendum’s passing will vary from person-to-person. Jon Moyle from Our Kids First says with a median home value of $100,000, a person without exemptions would pay under $50. Those with the homestead exemption would pay just under $25 annually.
