RIDE 3
Road Improvement & Development Effort - On November 8, 2016, Horry County voters, by a 69.1 to 30.9 percent margin, supported a One-Cent Capital Projects Sales Tax for roads. This tax went into effect on May 1, 2017, and will expire on April 30, 2025. It will increase the level of sales tax in Horry County an additional penny on all retail sales, accommodations and prepared food/ beverage. Groceries (unprepared food) will be exempt from the sales tax. Again, Horry County is slated to receive $592 million over the eight-year life of the one-cent Capital Projects Sales Tax.
