Measure 22-216 - 5-Year Local Option Levy for Jail Operations

Summary

This measure authorizes Lebanon to impose a 5-year local option property tax levy of $1.06 per $1,000 of assessed valuation beginning in fiscal year 2027-2028 to re-open and fund municipal jail operations and required medical and mental health services. The Lebanon Municipal Jail opened in 2009 and operated until 2023, when operations were suspended due to staffing shortages and state-mandated administrative costs. The levy would be imposed for five consecutive fiscal years and would expire unless renewed by voters. The tax would be assessed on taxable property within city limits and would be subject to constitutional property tax limitations. The total amount to be raised is estimated at $1,658,410.00 per year, for a total of $8,292,051.00 over five years. The estimated tax cost is $1.06 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, or $296.91 annually for an average property in Lebanon. The estimated tax cost for this measure is an ESTIMATE ONLY based on the best information available from the county assessor at the time of estimate and may reflect the impact of early payment discounts, compression and the collection rate.
