Williston Passes 1% Sales Tax For WPRD

The City of Williston will be amending its home rule charter to indefinitely extend and reenact the existing one percent sales and use tax for the Williston Parks and Recreation District on an indefinite basis after Tuesday's vote.

The funds from the one percent sales tax will be used by the WPRD for Park District Operations and for the repayment of bonds issued by the district for facilities, improvements, lands, structures, equipment, and rights of way.

With the passing of the continuation of the sales tax, the WPRD will eliminate any or all property tax assessments for as long as the sales tax remains in effect.
