Richland County plans to delay its property tax collection deadline by one month in light of the recent floods.

The county will likely offer a 30-day extension for the property tax payment deadline from January to February, county treasurer David Adams said. County Council gave its support of the plan this week, Adams said. The county is sending a letter to the state Department of Revenue for approval.

Richland County’s penny-on-the-dollar transportation tax has generated $111.9 million since collection began in May 2013.

In its first year, the Richland County transportation sales tax generated more than $53 million for projects that, for the most part, have not begun.

County Treasurer David Adams said Wednesday the total is $3 million more than projected and that collections went up each quarter, which could have signaled more spending by consumers or better reporting by retailers.
