A special tax district is an area where the county has the power to tax at different rates depending on the type and level of government services provided there. The state law lines out procedures for creating a special tax district which are meant to stop the creation of special purpose districts. Special purpose districts are mostly formed from special legislation in the General Assembly. The legislature is supposed to provide a general law for “the structure, organization, powers, duties, functions and responsibilities of counties.” They are still around today and are presumed valid unless challenged.
