Everyone likes to ask — well how are you going to do it, Bill? How are you going to eliminate personal property tax and cut real estate taxes in St. Charles County?
STEP 1
Pass a County Charter Amendment that authorizes the county to use excess funds and government efficiency savings to pay off the personal and real property tax bills of St. Charles County taxpayers.
Amendment:
"Be it resolved by the people of St. Charles County that the County Charter be amended that Article III, Section 3.600 shall authorize the County Executive to assign any budgetary funds, deemed by the County Executive as surpluses, to the County Collector, who shall use all such funds received to offset the annual tangible personal property and real property tax burdens of the residents of St. Charles County.
The Collector shall apply all funds received to first evenly offset the tangible personal property tax bill of all taxpayers in St. Charles County, while additional funds will be directed to real property taxes on residential, commercial, and agricultural assessments. The Collector shall perform this offset for taxes due to all taxing jurisdictions for tangible personal property and real property within the borders of St. Charles County"
STEP 2
Enact responsible spending limits and require that any surplus revenue be directed back to the taxpayers— NOT wasted on growing government.
STEP 3
Create a St. Charles County Department of Government Efficiency tasked with finding 10-15% savings in county government.
