Trending Issues Webinar: The Future of Charleston County’s Half-Cent Sales Tax

Trending Issues Webinar: The Future of Charleston County’s Half-Cent Sales Tax
 
Charleston County’s half-cent sales tax for transportation, green space, and transit projects is set to expire in 2027. After voters rejected a proposed extension in 2024, County Council is now weighing whether to place a new referendum on the 2026 ballot.
 
County leaders are currently evaluating priorities such as safety, flood mitigation, and broader infrastructure improvements, while also seeking public input on how a future program should be structured. Without an extension, funding for major transportation, green space, and transit initiatives will end, leaving the county without a dedicated revenue stream for these needs.
 
Join CTAR for this Trending Issues Webinar to hear directly from Charleston County representatives about:
What the half-cent sales tax has funded to date
How the County is assessing future needs
What projects may be included in a potential 2026 referendum
This is a critical opportunity to learn how the region’s infrastructure funding could change, and how the real estate community and public may help shape what comes next.
