CIC LOGO (1)The City of Tahlequah currently collects a 0.75% sales tax that supports a Capital Improvement Bond Package. This existing tax has been instrumental in funding various projects, such as:

  • Tahlequatics Center
  • NSU Event Center
  • South Muskogee Avenue expansion 
  • Cedar Avenue expansion
  • Softball Fields at Anthis Brennan Sports Complex.
  • Fire Engine & Equipment
  • Police Technology
  • Callout/Sirens
  • Greenbelt Development - Walking Trails
  • Library Improvements
  • Fourth Street
  • Bluff Avenue
  • East Allen Road
  • North Grand Avenue

This tax is scheduled to expire in 2028.

The City is planning to hold a public vote in late 2026 to consider extending the 0.75% sales tax to fund a new round of capital improvement projects. If approved, this would be a continuation of the existing tax rate and would not result in a tax increase.

To prepare for this potential bond issue, a committee has been formed to evaluate possible projects for inclusion. Community input is an important part of this process.

To share your input on what projects should be prioritized, register with Polco today and be notified when new surveys become available.
