In approving an updated budget Tuesday evening, the Board of Clark County Commissioners agreed not to raise taxes.
By law, commissioners could have increased the countywide general property tax levy by 1 percent and the road fund levy (assessed only on residents in unincorporated areas) by 1 percent; increases would have netted an additional $550,000 for the general fund and $352,000 for the road fund.
