City of Crowley Proposition No. 3 of 4 (Renewal of Public Parks and Recreation Tax) (Three Millage Ad Valorem Tax) (Acadia Parish)

What it does

Shall the City of Crowley, State of Louisiana, (the "City") under the provisions of Article VI, Section 22, Section 27(B), Section 30(A) and Section 32 of the Constitution of the State of Louisiana of 1974, levy and collect a Three (3) Mills Tax on all property subject to taxation situated within said City (current estimated annual amount of $300,775), annually for a period of ten (10) years, commencing with the year 2028 and ending in the year 2037 for the purpose of public parks and recreation?

A YES vote means

Crowley would levy a 3-mill property tax each year from 2028 through 2037 for public parks and recreation.

A NO vote means

Crowley would not levy this 3-mill property tax for parks and recreation from 2028 through 2037.

What it would cost

3 mills (estimated) for 10 years: $300 a year for every $100,000 of taxable value (a mill is $1 per $1,000). Louisiana assesses homes at 10% of market value, so that's about $30 per $100,000 of market value, before the homestead exemption. Taxable value is after exemptions such as homestead; your tax bill or property appraiser shows yours.

Needed to pass

A simple majority: more than half of the YES and NO votes on this measure must be YES. Leaving it blank doesn't count either way.

Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).
