Local Option Levy

THPRD Local Option Levy Information

On May 21, 2024, voters in the THPRD service area voted to approve a five-year local option levy to fund district operations. The levy provides funding for:

• Maintaining park and recreation service levels
• Maintaining operating hours and programs
• Keeping parks cleaned and serviced weekly
• Retaining 50 full-time and 250 part-time maintenance staff and programming instructors

With the approval of the levy, THPRD has been able to keep all 15 park and recreation facilities open to the public and has been able to maintain service hours.

The local option levy was projected to increase taxes on the average home in the district by about $12.68 per month or $152.12 per year. The funding maintains district operations and represents approximately 20% of the district’s annual operating budget.
