In the upcoming 2026 Primary Election, Henderson residents will decide whether to renew the existing 12-cent property tax that funds our parks, recreation programs and community services. 
 
This is not a new tax. Residents already pay it today. The average homeowner spends $120/year currently and this would stay the same.

Why It Matters 

No matter what, 12 cents will still be collected.

  • A VOTE YES: Your 12 cents stays in Henderson to fund local parks and recreation. 

  • A VOTE NO: Your money leaves Henderson impacting the future of our Parks and Recreation services and amenities.   

A YES Vote Means 

Your “yes” vote renews funding that covers about 40% of the Parks and Recreation Department’s budget, supporting: 

  • Clean, well-maintained parks, trails and sports fields 

  • Pools, community centers and recreation programs 

  • Youth and preschool programs, childcare and senior services 

  • Safe, active neighborhoods and strong property values 

 A NO Vote Means 

Voting “no” does not lower your taxes — it just redirects your dollars out of Henderson. That potentially means: 

  • Reduction Park/Trail Maintenance  

  • Cutbacks on Recreation Programs and Events 

  • Delayed Equipment Repair/Replacement 

  • Decreased Property Values 

  • Increased Safety Risks 

  • Decline in Economic and Community Vitality 

  • Decline in City Services
