VOTE CARROLLTON

2026 Bond Election

Vote YES May 2nd, 2026

There is new language at the start of each bond proposition that says the following:  “THIS IS A TAX INCREASE.” This new language is mandated by the state for each bond proposition, regardless of whether the bond proposition is expected to increase taxes. The City of Carrollton has structured the 2026 bond package to work within the existing City property tax rate. The bonds are planned to be fully repaid without increasing the City property tax rate, even if all of the proposed bond propositions were to pass.  However, the City is still required to include the state-mandated language on the ballot.

The proposed bonds are part of the City of Carrollton’s on-going General Obligation bond program for funds that are used for our streets, neighborhoods, public safety (fire stations), recreation services, animal services and walking and biking trails.  Approval of the proposed projects will help keep Carrollton a vibrant community. People are drawn to the City for its high quality of life, abundant parks and safe neighborhoods, and we need to keep the City well-maintained and stay on top of our aging infrastructure.

The last bond package was passed in 2022.  A committee of city residents works with the city management and the City Council to select the projects that are proposed.  The amount of bonds proposed in the 2026 bond package is calculated to maintain the City’s budgeted debt service, so the tax rate will not need to be increased for payment of these bonds.

A no vote will cost taxpayers additional money to pay for another election to raise the necessary bond funds for the essential work needed on our streets, neighborhood infrastructure and fire stations.   Please vote Yes to keep Carrollton the Best!
