The Ballard County Fiscal Court is exploring the possibility of implementing an Insurance Premium Tax as a means of generating additional revenue to support vital county road and bridge projects.

These projects include, but are not limited to, bridge repairs and replacements, road resurfacing, drainage and scouring improvements, and other critical infrastructure needs throughout Ballard County.

This proposed tax would be assessed on insurance premiums written for policies within Ballard County. This is considered an alternative way of improving the county's transportation network without placing the entire burden on property taxes.

Taxable Premiums

Fire & Allied Perils

Casualty/Liability
