Polk Promise 1/2 Cent Sales Tax

About the 1/2 Cent Sales Tax Initiative

In 2018, voters in Polk County approved a renewal of the half-cent sales tax initiative, recognizing that safe, secure, quality schools are paramount to creating a positive learning environment for all of our students, allowing them to grow and flourish. We offer our sincere thanks to local residents and visitors for their part in ensuring a bright future for our single greatest resource - the children and young people of Polk County. We couldn't do this without you!

Every (Half) Penny Counts!

A family of four with an income of $55,000 a year pays about $61.25 per year for the 1/2 cent sales tax. That's only a little more than $5.00 a month!

Bartow Senior High

Oversight Committee

As part of the 1/2 cent sales tax initiative, a twenty-one member Oversight Committee was formed, appointed by the Polk County School Board, for financial accountability. District staff reports to the committee four times yearly, to review current, new, and potential future projects funded with sales tax money.
