    Does Ashe need a land-transfer tax increase?

    posted April 13, 2008 by Dr. Terry Stoops, Joseph Coletti, Dr. Michael Sanera
    The Ashe County commissioners are asking county residents to triple the land-transfer tax rate on May 6 (from 0.2 to 0.6 percent). This report identifies $9.4 million in revenue and savings the county could use to meet its needs — nearly 10 times the amount that the proposed tax increase would produce.
