Growth Impact Action Committee Position
Statement
We believe in private property rights, but these rights should be fairly
balanced against adverse effects that growth can have on the quality of life and
property values of other county citizens. And locals should not be taxed to
subsidize developers, individual property owners, or newcomers.
Fairly balancing private property rights requires regulations. And tax laws must
be changed to avoid taxing locals for costs simply due to population growth.
Horry County should impose impact fees to the greatest extent that state law
allows, and state law should cap annual property tax increases, reassessing only
when property is purchased -- or at least allow a local option to do so.
