Jail Facilities Excise Tax Renewal (Proposition 413)

Summary

Maricopa County is asking voters to renew a one-fifth cent sales tax that funds half of the county's jail and detention operations. Because the existing tax expires in March 2027, putting Proposition 413 on the November 2026 ballot ensures public safety agencies and the jail system maintain stable funding without increasing tax rates.
