Did you know that 40% of Henderson Parks funding comes from property tax assessments?

Did you know that we are at risk of losing this source of funding to the County?

Existing Funding

Voters choose great parks, because great parks make a great city.

In 1997, Henderson voters approved a 12-cent property tax override dedicated to Parks and Recreation.  The 12 cents are part of the City’s total property tax rate of $0.77 per $100 of assessed valuation.  This override currently funds approximately 40% of the department’s operations and maintenance.

This voter-approved funding was put in place for a period of 30 years and will sunset in 2027 unless it is renewed.

A “YES” Vote

Will keep our property tax money in Henderson and going to Parks & Rec.

A “NO” Vote

Will give our property tax money to the County for its discretionary use.

This June, Henderson primary voters will choose whether to keep the current funding of $0.12 per $100 of assessed property tax dedicated to Parks and Recreation in Henderson where it belongs.
