Get StartedThe Banks city council recommended this measure for the November 3, 2026, ballot to renew the current local option tax of $2.50 per $1,000 of assessed value. If approved, the city will levy $2.50 per $1,000 of assessed value for each of five years beginning 2027 to continue the contract with the Washington County Sheriff for full-time local police services. If this levy fails, the city will be without dedicated police services, which include prompt 911 response, crime prevention, law and traffic enforcement, youth and school programs, crime investigation, enforcement of city ordinances, court bailiff services and other city-specific policing. The city has contracted with Washington County since 2006, and this levy continues funding for those services at full-time (24/7) level (two deputies, two shifts per week). For homes assessed at $100,000, the annual tax is estimated at $250. This is an ESTIMATE ONLY based on best information available from the county assessor at the time of estimate and may not reflect early payment discounts, compression, or collection costs.
Shall City levy $2.50 per assessed $1,000 for five years beginning FY 2027-2028 for law enforcement services? This measure renews current local option taxes.
