What does this measure do?
Supports: Public Safety and Crime Control
Lets Dallas borrow $443 million for police and fire buildings, including the police academy at UNT Dallas, a training complex, a 911 center, a crime lab, and a new Fire Station 4. Property owners repay about $630 million with interest, and the ballot calls it a tax increase.
Proposed by: Dallas City Council (Ordinance No. 33494, adopted August 12, 2026)
The city's elected council. The borrowed money would pay for public safety buildings. Texas cities need voter approval to borrow money paid back with property taxes.
