Bill > HB1415

This bill establishes a new motor vehicle privilege tax for Chester County, Tennessee, requiring residents to pay $65.35 annually for each motor vehicle they own, with exceptions for auto-dealers' vehicles and farm tractors. The tax is a prerequisite for operating a motor vehicle within the county and will be collected by the Chester County Clerk, who will issue a receipt and provide a decal to be displayed on the license plate. Vehicle owners must keep a copy of the receipt, and failure to comply with the tax requirement will be considered a Class C misdemeanor. The bill requires approval by a two-thirds vote of the Chester County legislative body before it can take effect, and if approved, it will become fully operational as specified in the legislation. This local tax is designed to generate revenue for the county and ensure that vehicle owners contribute to local infrastructure and maintenance costs.
