§ 120487 Tax Bond Validity Deadline

• •If someone wants to challenge a new local sales tax or the bonds (money borrowed) tied to it, they have to do it within 6 months after the vote approves it.
• •After 6 months, no one can question or fight the tax or the bonds anymore—they become permanent and legal.
• •This rule is about making sure decisions on taxes and borrowing money aren’t dragged out forever.

A city votes to add a 1% sales tax to pay for new parks, and they plan to borrow money (bonds) to start building right away.

If a group of people don’t like the tax, they have 6 months after the vote to take it to court. If they wait 7 months, they can’t challenge it anymore—even if they think it’s unfair. The tax and the borrowing are locked in.
