§ 101350 County Disease Prevention Tax

• •Only property outside city limits can be taxed this way.
• •The tax is a special one that the board of supervisors decides to create.
• •Money collected must be used for disease prevention, disease removal, or general cleaning and sanitation.

A farmer who lives outside the nearest town gets a small extra tax on his land. The county uses that money to spray fields for disease, set up clean water stations, and run trash clean‑up crews.

Because the farmer’s property is not inside a city, the county can charge the special tax and then spend the cash on keeping germs away and making the area sanitary.
