Greenville County Penny Taxes Explained: What a Yes or No Vote Means on Your 2026 Ballot
Every Greenville County voter will see two countywide penny tax questions on the November ballot, and residents of the cities of Greenville, Mauldin, Simpsonville and Travelers Rest will see a third. Katy Smith of Greater Good Greenville and producer Nathaniel DeSantis walk through what each referendum would fund, why there are both county and city referenda on the ballot, and how the same tax can be called both a penny and a 17% increase. The goal is not to sway your vote, but to give you clear, neutral facts before you head to the polls.Resources:Look up your ballot, candidates and referendums by addressGreenville County Voter Registration and Elections (official referendum wording)South Carolina State Election Commission (check your registration and sample ballot)Greenville County Transportation Sales and Use Tax Portal2024 Penny Tax vote by precinctSimple Civics episode "Cities, Towns, Places, and ZIP Codes"Simple Civics:Simple Civics: Greenville County is a project of Greater Good GreenvilleGet in touchSupport Simple Civics with a tax-deductible contributionSign up for the Simple Civics newsletter.View our entire catalogueSimple Civics: Greenville County is produced by Podcast Studio X.
