Voters who need assistance voting or other accommodations should call (385) 468-7400 or email vote@saltlakecounty.gov. There is to be no special registration of voters for the local special bond election, and the official register of voters last made or revised shall constitute the register for the local special bond election, except that all persons who reside within the County and are registered to vote in the election held on Election Day shall be considered to vote in the local special bond election. The title and text of the ballot proposition that will submitted to the qualified, registered voters residing within the County is as follows: OFFICIAL BALLOT FOR THE SALT LAKE COUNTY, UTAH LOCAL SPECIAL BOND ELECTION November 3, 2026 Shall Salt Lake County, Utah, be authorized to issue general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $128,000,000 and to mature in no more than eleven (11) years from the date or dates of issuance of such bonds for the purpose of providing funds for repairing, completing, acquiring, constructing or renovating open space, natural habitat, parks, community trails and recreational facilities and other related facilities under the charge of the County and, to the extent necessary, for providing moneys for the refunding, at or prior to the maturity thereof, of general obligation bonds of the County authorized hereunder or heretofore issued and now outstanding? PROPERTY TAX COST OF BONDS A general obligation bond is a debt owed by the County. The County uses tax revenue to pay for the debt. If the bonds are issued as planned (which currently consists of 2 smaller issues of bonds totaling approximately $128,000,000 over the next 5 years, with each issue of bonds maturing approximately 10 years from the date it is issued), without regard to the taxes currently levied to pay outstanding bonds that will decrease over time, an annual property tax to pay debt service on the proposed bonds will be required over a period of 10 years in the estimated amount of $16.39 per year on a primary residence with the County average value of $658,000 and in the estimated amount of $29.80 per year on a business or secondary residence having the same value, which are equal to a monthly increase of $1.37 for an average residential property and $2.48 on a business property having the same value. The County currently levies property taxes to pay debt service on other outstanding general obligation bonds that have been issued to finance voter approved projects. The incremental property taxes would decrease upon the repayment of the currently outstanding bonds, but the decrease may not occur if the proposed bonds are issued. Taking into account the repayment of the outstanding bonds, the County expects that the issuance of the proposed bonds, in the manner currently expected, will result in a net property tax increase of $0 per year on a primary residence with the County average value of $658,000 and a net property tax increase of $0 per year on a business or secondary residence having the same value, which are equal to a monthly increase of $0 for an average residential property and $0 on a business property having the same value. The foregoing is only an estimate and is not a limit on the amount of taxes that the governing body may be required to levy in order to pay debt service on the bonds. The governing body is obligated to levy taxes to the extent provided by law in order to pay the bonds. In addition to the bond payment costs as outlined above, based on current best estimates, the average annual combined net operational and maintenance costs for these facilities during their first ten years of operation is projected to require additional annual expenditures of $4,710,200. If approved, the county will determine during its next budget cycle whether additional operational and maintenance costs may or may not require any additional funds from budget cuts or a tax increase. To vote in favor of the above bond issue, select the box immediately adjacent to the words 'FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS.' To vote against the bond issue, select the box immediately adjacent to the words 'AGAINST THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS.' FOR THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS AGAINST THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that on Friday, October 9, 2026, at 9 a.m., in the Clerk's Office at the Salt Lake County Government Center, in Salt Lake City, Utah, there will be conducted a test of the automatic tabulating equipment or other apparatus to be used to tabulate the results of the November local special bond election to be held in the County on the issuance of $128,000,000 general obligation bonds described above. This test is open to public observation in accordance with the provisions of Section 20A-4-104, Utah Code. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, that being a day no sooner than 7 days and not later than 14 days after the local special bond election, the County Council of the County (the 'County Council') will meet at its regular meeting place located in the County Government Center, 2001 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah, and will canvass the returns and declare the results of the local special bond election during the Board meeting that begins at 4 p.m. (or such other date or time as the County Council may determine). Pursuant to applicable provisions of Sections 11-14-208 and 20A-4-403 of the Utah Code, the period allowed for any contest of the local special bond election shall end 40 days after November 17, 2026 (the date on which the results of the election are to be canvassed and the results thereof declared).
