CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish proposes paying for a new jail -- and possibly a new or renovated courts complex -- by permanently extending a quarter-percent sales tax that is set to expire in 2027.
The proposed tax increase would keep Cuyahoga County’s sales tax rate at 8% -- the highest in the state – indefinitely.
