Kaysville Bond
Kaysville Fire Station Bond
Last updated
What happened
Canceled
On October 7, 2026, the Kaysville City Council voted unanimously to cancel the special bond election after realizing the city failed to include proper instructions for submitting arguments for and against the bond in its August election notice. Votes for the local proposition were not counted.
In plain English
Kaysville City wants to borrow up to $16.5 million to build a new fire station, which would raise property taxes on a $711,000 home by about $115 a year for the loan plus about $191 a year to run the station, for a total of around $307 a year.
A yes vote
A yes vote would let Kaysville City borrow up to $16.5 million to build and equip a new fire station, with residents paying the added property tax costs described above to cover both the loan and the station's operating costs.
A no vote
A no vote would block the city from issuing the bonds, meaning the fire station wouldn't be built this way and residents wouldn't see the added property tax costs.
How it reads on your ballot
Shall the City Council (the “Council”) of Kaysville City, Utah (the “City”), be authorized to issue General Obligation Bonds in an amount not to exceed Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($16,500,000) (the “Bonds”) for the purpose of financing all or a portion of the costs of constructing and equipping a fire station and all related improvements; said Bonds to be due and payable in not to exceed twenty (20) years from the date of issuance of the Bonds?
Property Tax Cost of Bonds: If the Bonds are issued as planned a property tax sufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds will be required over a period of twenty (20) years in the estimated average amount of $115.37 per year on a $711,000 primary residence and in the estimated amount of $209.77 per year on a business property having the same value.
Additionally, if the fire station is constructed, an additional property tax sufficient to pay operation costs of operating the fire station will be required as long as the fire station is in operation in the estimated amount of $191.32 (totaling $306.70 when combined with the debt service on the Bonds) per year on a $711,000 primary residence and in the estimated amount of $347.86 (totaling $557.63 when combined with the debt service on the Bonds) per year on a business property having the same value.
The foregoing information is only an estimate and is not a limit on the amount of taxes that the Council may be required to levy to pay debt service on the Bonds. The Council is obligated to levy taxes to the extent provided by law in order to pay the Bonds. The amounts are based on various assumptions and estimates, including estimated debt service on the Bonds and taxable values of property in Kaysville City, Utah.
The City notes that it deems the fire station to be an essential project and that the voter-approved Bonds will provide a cost-effective form of financing.
