Rutherford County, TN - Rutherford County continues to experience rapid growth, and with the passage of Senate Bill 2261 and House Bill 2426 the county can increase the school facilities tax from $1.00 to $1.50 per square foot and impose a $1.50 per square foot tax on commercial buildings up to 150,000 square feet. Rutherford County Mayor Joe Car told WGNS in a statement that this legislative change comes with complications that could impact the county's financial planning.
