FARMINGTON Members of the San Juan County Commission will consider taking the first step in an extended process that would raise the gross receipts tax by 1/16th of 1% when they meet this week.
Commissioners will gather at 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 25 in their chambers at the County Administration Building, 100 S. Oliver Drive in Aztec. Included in their agenda is a proposal to approve a notice of intent to adopt a GRT increase. The proposed 1/16th of 1% tax hike would be dedicated to emergency communications, and emergency medical and behavioral health services.
If the commission approves the notice of intent, the ordinance would be placed on the commission agenda for a public hearing and formal approval on July 6. If commissioners vote in support of the item at that point, it would go to San Juan County voters for their approval during a referendum on Nov. 2.
