Murray County Property Tax Bills Reduced by Local and State Relief Efforts

Murray County residents will have lower property tax bills this year due to multiple tax relief efforts from the state and county. Murray County Tax Commissioner Billy Childers stated that the reduction is due to homeowners' relief extended by the state and the one-cent Floating Local Option Sales Tax (FLOST) approved by voters. The revenue generated from the FLOST initiative is dedicated to reducing property taxes.

The tax relief is supported by revenue from the FLOST initiative, which is dedicated to property tax reduction. This year's deductions represent five months of sales tax collections, while the 2027 tax bill will benefit from a full 12 months of collections.
