§ 103322 Voter Approval For Property Tax

• •A property tax can’t be started without a vote.
• •The vote must be a special election called just for that tax question.
• •More than half of the voters who vote must approve it.

A city wants to raise money to fix the local library and proposes a new property tax.

The city must hold an election just for this tax question, and if more than 50% of the voters who turn out vote 'yes,' the tax can be collected. If not, the city cannot charge the tax.
