Garfield County's local ballot, November 3, 2026
Raises Rifle's lodging tax by three percentage points to 5.5% from January 1, 2027, with an estimated $350,000 increase that year and no end date.
Adds 7.9 mills to Glenwood Springs' city property tax for fire and emergency services through December 31, 2046, with $3,132,000 stated for 2027.
Adds $4.7 million in annual school property taxes for educational operations, with the levy rate set each year to produce that amount and no end date.
Authorizes up to $118 million in school debt and $225 million in repayment, funded by extending the 2006 bond tax at no more than $9.2 million annually.
Authorizes an additional $10.1 million in school property taxes in 2027, followed by amounts tied to the statutory limit for general-fund levies, for educational purposes.
Raises property taxes by up to $5.6 million for collection in 2027, with an ongoing school mill levy override and no end date.
Adds 5.9 mills to the rural fire district's property tax for fire and emergency services through December 31, 2046, with $980,000 stated for 2027.
Extends the library district's existing 1.00-mill property tax beyond its 2027 expiration, with an estimated $2,666,876 in 2028 and no end date.
A Garfield County household is in either Eagle County School District RE50J or Roaring Fork School District RE-1, so a ballot carries 5B or 5C, never both.
Eight local questions: 3 school tax increase, 2 property tax increase, 1 new tax or fee, 1 school borrowing, 1 tax extension.
Dollar figures are on each question's row and page and are not added here: they are stated for different years and different districts, and the bond's figures are ceilings on borrowing and repayment rather than a tax.
I recommend a no vote on all eight.
