Whitman County (Endicott) Cemetery District No. 4 Proposition No. 1 — Finance Maintenance and Operations Levy

What it does

The Commissioners of Whitman County (Endicott) Cemetery District No. 4 adopted Resolution No. 2026-1, concerning a proposition to finance a maintenance and operations levy for the District. This proposition would authorize the District to levy an excess property tax on all taxable property within the District at an estimated rate of $0.37 per $1,000.00 of assessed value in 2026, to raise $40,000, to be collected in 2027. This levy renews an existing levy that expires in 2026. Should this proposition be approved?

A YES vote means

Endicott Cemetery District No. 4 would renew its expiring levy at about $0.37 per $1,000 of assessed value to raise $40,000, collected in 2027, for maintenance and operations.

A NO vote means

The District's expiring levy would not be renewed.

What it would cost

0.37 mills (estimated): $37 a year for every $100,000 of taxable value (a mill is $1 per $1,000). Taxable value is after exemptions such as homestead; your tax bill or property appraiser shows yours. It would continue a tax already in place rather than add a new one.

Needed to pass

A 60% supermajority: at least 60 out of every 100 YES and NO votes must be YES, so a measure can get a majority and still fail.

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).
