City of Oakdale Proposition (Millage) (Allen Parish)

What it does

Shall the City of Oakdale, State of Louisiana (the "City"), be authorized to levy a 3.10 mills tax on all the property subject to taxation in the City (an estimated $74,800 reasonably expected at this time to be collected annually from the levy of this tax), for a period of 10 years, beginning with the year 2027 and ending with the year 2036, for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, improving, maintaining and/or operating recreational facilities for the City?

A YES vote means

Oakdale would levy a 3.10-mill property tax from 2027 through 2036 to build, improve, maintain and run city recreational facilities.

A NO vote means

Oakdale would not levy this 3.10-mill property tax for recreational facilities.

What it would cost

3.1 mills (estimated) for 10 years: $310 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 $31 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).
