Charlotte County officials are already getting ready for the next big tax fight set to be on the ballot next year.
Charlotte County’s 1 cent sales tax on purchases under $5,000 is due to expire at the end of 2020. That surcharge has been in place since 1994, but the last vote to renew it was in 2014.

The county is asking for volunteers to be part of a focus group. It would meet in July and hold meetings throughout the year to go over and rank proposed projects.
