granted by this subdivision is subject to any requirement of law that the building be located at the county seat.
(c) Authorize the sale or lease of real estate belonging to the county, and prescribe the manner in which a
conveyance of the real estate is to be executed.
(d) Erect the necessary buildings for jails, clerks' offices, and other county buildings, and prescribe the time
and manner of erecting them.
(e) Borrow or raise by tax upon the county those funds authorized by law. The exercise of the authority granted
by this subdivision is subject to any voting requirement provided by the law authorizing the borrowing or tax if
different from the voting requirement under section 3.
(f) Provide for the repayment of a loan made by the board, by tax upon the county. The loan must be repaid
within 15 years after the date of the loan, except that a loan to erect a county building for a public function must

adjustment of a claim is subject to appeal as provided by law.

county and the necessary charges incident to or arising from the execution of the board's lawful authority, subject
to the limitations prescribed in this act. The county board of commissioners may borrow in a year, in anticipation
of the levy or collection of taxes for the year, a sum of money, not exceeding 50% of the tax to be levied or collected
for the general fund of the county, necessary to defray current expenses of the county. The money borrowed must
be repaid from the tax when levied and collected.
