Converse County commissioners place one‑percent sales tax question on November ballot
Summary
The Converse County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 08‑26 to place a one‑percent optional sales tax question on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot, citing municipal support and the need to fund county services.
The Converse County Board of Commissioners voted June 16 to place a one‑percent optional sales tax question on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot. The board adopted Resolution No. 08‑26 directing the County Clerk to put the measure before voters.
County officials said the tax is intended to help fund county services and that three of the county’s four incorporated municipalities had requested inclusion of the question. Commissioner Rick Grant moved for placement on the ballot and Commissioner Robert Short seconded; the motion carried.
The resolution cites state statutory authority under W.S. §39‑15‑203 et seq. and §39‑15‑204 et seq. County leaders told the board they believe the tax is necessary to provide expected services, and the clerk’s office was directed to proceed with ballot language and related administrative steps.
There was no public hearing recorded on the floor for the measure at this meeting. Next steps include final ballot preparation by the Clerk’s Office and work with municipal partners to inform voters before the November election.
