Jones County Budget reduces tax rate, fifth year in a row

The Jones County Commissioners lowered the tax rate by two cents in the 2021-2022 Jones County budget. The budget included a county-wide cost of living adjustment (COLA) increase of 2.5%. Jones County Commissioners were excluded from the first COLA increase in at least four years. Jones County Commissioner April Aycock felt as if the pandemic opened a lot of eyes with health care in Jones County. โ€œWe are extremely limited with our medical services in the county,โ€ said Aycock. โ€œSo by the health department being expanded to five days a week, it provides more accessibility to our county.โ€
