Onslow County Sales & Use Tax

By

We all know how very important it is to vote, with the Presidential Election being this year.  However, for Onslow County residents, there is another very important issue on the ballot this year... the Onslow County Sales & Use Tax. 

What is the Onslow County Sales & Use Tax? 

The Onslow County Sales & Use Tax is a 1/4 cent sales tax that will be used as a tool for generating revenue to meet the growing financial needs of Onslow County. 

Some important things to note about the property tax:

  • If the sales tax is not increased, there will almost definitely be an increase in property taxes.
  • The sales tax increase is 1/4 cent and cannot be used on groceries, gasoline, or the purchase of automobiles.
  • If the sales tax increase is defeated, property taxes may go up 4 cents per hundred dollars.  Property tax increases only affect homeowners.  Let's get a broad based tax that will affect everyone.
  • When the 1/4 cent sales tax increase passes, you will never have to worry about the Transfer Tax ever appearing on the ballot.  The rule is one or the other.
