Valley Center voters to decide on 1% fire tax

The ballot question

Valley Center voters will decide whether to approve a 1% sales tax for the city’s fire department. The proposal concerns a local sales tax and identifies the fire department as its purpose.

The question gives voters a direct choice about whether the tax should be approved. The available details do not establish when the vote will occur, how long the tax would remain in place or which specific fire department expenses it would fund.

What voters will decide

The decision is limited to the proposed 1% sales tax. Approval or rejection will be determined through the Valley Center voting process.

Voters should review the final ballot language and election information from the appropriate election officials before casting a ballot. Those records will establish the wording presented to voters and the timing of the decision.
