With just over a week to go before Election Day, now is the time to research what's on your ballot before casting your vote. Check out our friends at Simple Civics' latest episode all about Greenville County's upcoming penny tax referendum!

Katy Smith of Greater Good Greenville breaks down Greenville County's 2026 penny tax referendums: what each question funds, the math and who pays.

🗳️ The Transportation Sales and Use Tax, or "penny tax", will be on every Greenville County voter's ballot, but there are actually TWO questions.

- The first is asking voters to approve or deny the 1% tax increase to be used on road, conservation, and public transit projects in Greenville County.

- The second is related to the first. It asks voters to approve or deny a $150 million bond. The bond would be the initial funding source for the penny tax's project list. Since it would take several months for the tax to generate significant revenue, the bond would allow the county to begin the projects immediately if both of these measures were to pass. The revenues from the tax would pay the bond off.

These will be the last two questions on the ballot, following local elections and municipal sales tax referendums, if your city has put one on the ballot.
