There is no local income tax, utility tax, property tax on state level, local license tax on headquarters and regional offices, intangible property tax, or inventory tax.

With a real estate tax of only $0.77 per $100 valuation and low utility tax, the county is an inexpensive place to do business. View the Business License and Tax Rate schedules.
