Notice is herby given that Proposition #12 Repealing Uintah County Resolution #5-21-2024 R1 will be on the November 5, 2024 General Election ballot.
Proposition Number 12
Shall Uintah County Resolution #5-21-2024 R1 imposing a 0.3% local option sales tax for public safety purposes under U.C.A. 59-12-2216 be repealed?
In 2024, the Utah Legislature authorized counties, such as Uintah County, to impose a sales and use tax to include funding for public safety purposes. The Uintah County Commission adopted by resolution the imposition of said tax to generate an estimated $4,485,000 in annual revenue. The Uintah County Commission has allocated 100% of this revenue to the Uintah County Sheriff's Office for public safety purposes.
The repeal of this resolution will result in a loss of that revenue for public safety services. Currently, the Uintah County Sheriff's Office is being funded by revenues, property tax, sales tax, and county savings. Repeal of this 0.3% sales tax will require Uintah County to continue the current funding configuration.
To prepare a written argument for or against a special local ballot proposition, an eligible voter shall file a request in writing with the Uintah County Clerk before 5 p.m. no later than 64 days (September 3rd) before the day of the election at which the proposition is to be voted on.
