Sales Tax Overview
On November 7, 2006, Horry County voters, by a 61.4 to 38.6 percent margin, supported a One-Cent Capital Projects Sales Tax for roads. This tax went into effect on May 1, 2007, and increased the level of sales tax in Horry County an additional penny on all retail sales, accommodations and prepared food and beverage.
If the revenue designated on the referendum is collected before the end of the seven years, or if all of the listed projects have been completed before the end of the seven years, the tax will end earlier.
Again, Horry County is slated to receive $425,539,087 over the seven-year life of the one-cent Capital Projects Sales Tax. All of the road projects to be funded from the One-Cent Capital Projects Sales Tax are specifically listed below:
