Quick context to catch up fast.
The Board approved a permanent 1% non-home-rule sales tax by a 5-1 vote, making the revenue unrestricted rather than limiting half of it to infrastructure. The Board also approved $39,833 for Town Center Park conduit work, added medical offices as a permitted use at Deer Park Town Center with an 18,080-square-foot limit, and authorized new online payment services.

Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The sales tax change gives Deer Park more flexibility to use the revenue for infrastructure or other operations, but moving funds from infrastructure would require a formal Board vote. Residents will eventually be able to make more payments online, beginning with sewer billing and potentially expanding to permits. The Board also approved agreements and spending related to snowplowing, fiber-company right-of-way access, and Town Center Park improvements.
