LWVPDX Ballot Measure Forum: Measure 26-260 Portland Parks Levy
Hear from supporters and opponents of the bond measure 26-260 for Portland Parks Levy on the ballot in the November 4, 2025 Election.
Measure 26-260 would replace the current property tax levy of $0.80/$1,000 assessed property value, expiring on June 30, 2026, with a new tax levy of $1.40/$1,000 assessed property value, which would apply for five years from July 2026 through June 2031. There is an approximate $600 million maintenance repair and replacement backlog. Three cents of the $1.40 levy will be directed to reducing this backlog.
- Speaking in favor of the bond: Portland for Parks Campaign Manager, Tony Morse
- Speaking against the bond: Portland Resident, Bob Weinstein
