What does this measure do?
Supports: Public Infrastructure, Public Safety and Crime Control
Continue Escambia County’s tax for roads, drainage, parks and public safety through 2038. Shoppers keep paying the existing one-cent sales tax on each dollar of taxable purchases.
Proposed by: Escambia County Board of County Commissioners
The county's governing board seeks to continue sales-tax funding for roads, public facilities and public safety equipment.
A YES vote means
Continue the existing one-cent sales tax on each taxable dollar from 2029 through 2038. It funds roads, drainage, public safety facilities and equipment, parks and other eligible public projects.
A NO vote means
Let this county sales tax end after 2028. Shoppers stop paying that extra penny on taxable purchases, and these projects lose this tax funding.
