Pest Infestation Control - Special Tax District
The Pest Infestation Control Special Tax District is a countywide
tax levy that supports the Integrated Pest Management Program. The
current tax rate is $0.001 per $100 of assessed real estate value.
The Integrated Pest Management Program includes two separate programs- the Forest Pest Program managed by Land Development Services (Department of Public Works and Environmental Services) and the Disease-Carrying Insects Program managed by the Health Department.
The Forest Pest Program currently focuses on preventing the spread of gypsy moth caterpillars, cankerworms, and emerald ash borers in the County. The Disease-Carrying Insects Program focuses on controlling the spread of the West Nile virus.
