Polk Forever

The property tax initially ran from 1995 until 2015, and provided Polk County with over $80 million it used for preserving properties.

Among the referendums coming before voters in November: A 1% sales tax to go to transportation projects in Hillsborough County and a half-cent sales tax in Hernando County would go to roads and parks. A property tax to resurrect Polk County's program to preserve environmentally sensitive lands. And renewal of the Penny for Pasco.
