BACKGROUND: The voters of Clearfield originally approved the enactment of the Parks, Arts, Recreation, Aquatics, and Trails (PARAT) Tax in 2014 for a period of ten years. The PARAT Tax is a local sales and use tax of 0.1 percent dedicated to assist with funding items associated with parks, arts, recreation, aquatics, and/or trails facilities, programs and/or organizations. On November 5, 2024, the question of continuing the local sales tax for an additional ten years was presented to voters and approved by a majority. The ordinance will enact the local sales tax and be sent to the Utah Tax Commission.
