Ballot Initiatives

Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) Tax Renewal

Extends the 0.1% (or one penny on every $10) SCFD tax until 2030. Learn more here. 

Better Roads Arvada

A half-cent sales-and-use tax increase, the proceeds of which will be used for street maintenance and improvement projects in the city. The increase would amount to 5 cents on a $10 purchase and would increase street maintenance funding — to repair potholes and sidewalks — by as much as $10 million per year.
