The Tigerville Fire District and the Chanticleer Community Special Tax District a pair of agencies from very different parts of Greenville County are each seeking to increase their property-tax rates.
The Tigerville Fire Department, which serves 7,500 people in a 31-square-mile area of northern Greenville County, has proposed a 53% rate increase that would add $62.80 to the annual property tax bill of a $100,000 home.
The department wants to boost the pay of its three fulltime firefighters, hire part-time staff and buy a new fire engine, pumper truck and a $70,000 vehicle for its fire chief.
Leaders of the Chanticleer district, which includes about 275 homes in an upscale country club community southeast of the Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital campus, are looking to raise its tax rate for the second consecutive year to cover the costs for a fulltime deputy who patrols the neighborhood.
