On Friday, October 13th, 2023, The Warren County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting to begin the process to renew the county’s 0.25% tax on new mortgages.

Director of Public Affairs Don Lehman said: “The way the calendar falls this year, beginning the process at the regular Board of Supervisors meeting on October 20th would not have gotten it done in time for when it expires at the end of 2023, so a special meeting was scheduled.”

This tax has been on the books since 2009. Annually, Warren County collects as much as $1.6-million through this tax. This tax is renewed every three years through this process.

The board set a public hearing regarding the local law that allows the tax. This public hearing will be held at the Board of Supervisors’ monthly meeting on Friday, October 20th. This meeting will start at 10:00 AM, at Warren County Municipal Center.
