What happened
Georgetown County voters are deciding whether to approve a 1% local option sales tax. County leaders state that if approved, the tax would generate about $12 million. Of that revenue, 71% would be used for property tax credits, while the remaining 29% would fund local government operations.

Why it matters
The measure aims to lower residents’ property tax bills, which supporters say could affect housing affordability. However, the tax would also subject items like restaurant meals and hotels to an additional 1% sales tax.
