Polk County Voters Decide Fairgrounds Tax

Polk County voters are deciding today on a five-year property tax measure to fund fairgrounds operations and maintenance. If the levy fails, leaders warn the historic Rickreall site will permanently close.

Voters in Polk County will determine if they will pass an operating levy that would fund maintenance and operations at the Polk County Fairgrounds in Rickreall.

Voters across United States county districts face a November ballot measure to fund the Polk County Fairgrounds through a five-year property tax levy. The proposal costs 12 cents per $1,000 of assessed value to support operations. Failure of the vote risks closure of the Rickreall facility.
