The National Association of Counties (NACo) is asking County Supervisors and Administrators to complete a survey on Federal Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) and/or Secure Rural Schools (SRS) payments. NACo's goal is to gather information on how counties spend these dollars, the consequences of reducing or eliminating such programs, and suggestions for improving these programs moving forward.
Survey results will be shared with key members of Congress, their staffs, and the Trump Administration to educate them on the critical importance of Federal PILT and SRS to counties. The survey can be accessed here, and responses are requested by the close of business on April 16, 2019.
