Kouman taks la peni travay
Daprè lwa eta Florid la, konte yo ka enpoze yon taks sou lavant diskresyonè pou envesti nan amelyorasyon kominote lokal yo. Li dwe apwouve pa yon majorite nan votè yo nan yon referandòm. Nan twa referandòm siksesif, votè Konte Sarasota yo te otorize yon surtax lavant 1%, sou tèt taks lavant leta 6%, pou envesti nan pwojè amelyorasyon kapital pou konte, distri lekòl la ak minisipalite yo.
1% sa a, oswa yon sèl-santim taks sou lavant, sèlman aplike nan premye $ 5,000 * nan nenpòt ki achte ki sijè a taks sou lavant leta a (maksimòm de $ 50).
Yon ka nan revni an resevwa lajan nan Distri Lekòl la. Rès 75% a distribiye nan mitan konte a ak minisipalite yo ki baze sou popilasyon an.
Montan yo ka itilize sèlman pou envesti nan pwojè piblik tankou pak, wout, twotwa, bibliyotèk ak lekòl; yo pa ka itilize pou peye pou depans fonksyònman jeneral yo.

On Nov. 8, Sarasota County citizens voted to continue funding for local improvements through renewal of the penny sales tax. The current penny sales tax will expire on Dec. 31, 2024. The new penny sales tax will be effective on Jan. 1, 2025. It will continue through Dec. 31, 2039.
The 1% sales surtax, on top of the 6% state sales tax, will fund investments in capital improvement projects for the county, school board and municipalities. It will apply to the first $5,000 of any purchase that is subject to the state sales tax. Proceeds from the surtax may only be used to invest in public infrastructure projects such as public safety, the environment, water quality, libraries, parks, schools and roads; it may not be used to pay for general operating expenses.
