–Attention All Yavapai Voters–
Yavapai County Jail Tax
DORR supports a “YES” Vote
An important vote is right around the corner. If you are a Yavapai resident, you may have already received (or will soon receive) a pamphlet describing the upcoming special election ballot. The purpose of this election concerns the renewal of an existing ¼ cent sales tax to continue the funding for the Yavapai County Jail. The Democrats of the Red Rocks urge you to vote yes and mail back your ballot as soon as you receive it.
This ¼ cent tax is not a new tax and it is not an increased tax.
It is a renewal of an already existing sales tax, at the same rate for another 20 years.
The jail receives almost half of its funding through this sales tax.
By continuing the ¼ cent sales tax, the cost of the jail is spread out fairly. If the sales tax continuation does not pass, the costs for the jail will be passed on to various municipalities that use the jail, and their citizens will bear the burden. It could even result in increased county property taxes. As it is currently set up, everybody pays a small ¼ cent per dollar of sales tax no matter where they live. This helps share the costs among residents and visitors alike in Yavapai County.
Please vote yes on renewing the ¼ cent jail tax. You will receive your ballot in the next few weeks. The ballots contain instructions for mailing them back and are due no later than May 15th.
If you have any questions, please call the Democrats of the Red Rocks at 928-212-1357. Thank you for supprting the ¼ cent sales tax renewal.
