Dawson County calls Nov. 3 election on 1% PTRLOST to reduce property taxes
Summary
The board voted 3‑0 to call an election on Nov. 3, 2026 for a one‑percent Property Tax Relief Local Option Sales Tax (PTRLOST/FLOST) to be considered for five years, with proceeds dedicated to reducing ad valorem property taxes in Dawson County.
On July 16 the Dawson County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution calling a Nov. 3, 2026 election on whether to implement a 1 percent Property Tax Relief Local Option Sales Tax (PTRLOST, also called FLOST) for a five‑year period, with proceeds to be used exclusively to reduce ad valorem property taxes within Dawson County.
The motion to call the election passed 3‑0. A member of the public during earlier comment, Raymond Richards, had raised general questions about PTRLOST but the minutes note that many of his concerns likely relate to the Board of Education's allocations. The resolution sets the county on a public timeline toward the November ballot; detailed language and ballot wording were not included in the minutes and will be handled by staff and the county attorney.
