The county sold $14.5 million in bonds for the jail that was built in 2008, with a payoff date in 2032.
The half-percent sales tax enacted to fund the facility raised the entire amount in five years, and the county plans to pay off the bond on Nov. 1.
Commissioner Dan Kalil said the county could have continued the special tax, but that it notified the state earlier this month that it would not do so.
"We told the public it was for the jail and when we had the money it would end," he said. "It's done."
