The Clark County Commission voted to approve an ordinance to index the county’s fuel tax to inflation. The change will raise up to $700 million for needed transportation work.
Truckers licensed under the International Fuel Tax Agreement will get credit for the county fuel tax when traveling out of the state.
Starting Jan. 1, 2014, the ordinance authorizes a 3.24-cent-per-gallon increase in the local 9-cent tax rate for gas and diesel. Additional increases will occur in July 2015 and July 2016.
