Background

Weber County's official general election notice lists this question as Ballot Proposition #10, a Roy City referendum on whether the city may levy a tax rate to generate $1,749,050 in increased property tax revenue for fiscal 2027.

KSL and KUTV reported that the referendum petition challenged Roy City Resolution 26-24, which the City Council approved 4–1 on August 11, 2026. That resolution adopted a budget with a 34.25% property tax increase, scaled back from an initially proposed 54.9%, mainly to raise city employee wages.

According to KSL, the increase would raise property taxes on Roy's average $439,000 home from $388.25 to about $521.23.

Roy City's referendum page says that on October 20, 2026 the petition was deemed insufficient after valid signature withdrawals; Proposition 10 is still printed on the ballot, but votes on it will not be counted.

Put on the ballot by Referendum petition against Roy City Resolution 26-24 (Council vote 4–1, August 11, 2026).
