The Overland Park City Council voted to place a new sales tax measure on the ballot for voters to decide in April's elections. The proposed tax is a one-fourth of one percent (0.25%) Special Purpose City Retailers’ Sales Tax. The funds raised would be used for the acquisition, maintenance, and improvement of parks and recreation infrastructure, including pools, trails, and playgrounds. The tax would take effect on October 1, 2027, and end September 30, 2037.
