Funding the Parks

There will be a referendum on the November ballot for a 1% increase in the sales tax. This tax increase is meant to increase funding for the parks, transit and emergency services. The bulk of the increase will go to the parks.

This sales tax increase will also fund some property tax relief, as parks, transit and emergency services will be removed from the property tax levy.

The sales tax increase will provide a dedicated stream of funding for Milwaukee County's parks.
