Dare County officials recently proposed a beach nourishment project for Avon that will place over 1 million cubic yards of sand along the 2.5 miles of oceanfront.
Last week, the Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to proceed with the process of establishing a special tax service district in the Village of Avon for the county’s proposed beach nourishment project.
According to the County Manager Bobby Outten, all statutory requirements had been met because there is a demonstrable need for the project. It is impossible or impractical to provide this service county-wide. The project is economically feasible and there is a demonstrable demand for the project by property owners within the proposed service district.

Via Flickr Dare County might raise property taxes to help pay for an $11 million beach re-nourishment project in the unincorporated Outer Banks town of Avon.
Property owners in the Outer Banks town of Avon could see their taxes go up to help pay for the cost of fighting beach erosion.
The Dare County Board of Commissioners will consider a plan to raise property taxes in the unincorporated town to cover part of the cost of an $11 million beach re-nourishment project.
Dare County Manager Bobby Outten has been authorized to work out a proposal for splitting Avon into two tax service districts. Properties closer to the ocean could see a tax of 25-cents on every $100 in assessed value. For properties farther inland the tax would be 5-cents on every $100.
