Linn County Law Enforcement
Local Option Levy election ends Nov. 4

​  A four-year Linn County Law Enforcement Local Option Levy, Measure 22-212, is on Nov. 4 election ballot. It would be a continuation of the current levy, which expires in June.
  The tax rate would increase by 10 cents to $3.08 per $1,000 of assessed value. All revenues would continue to fund sheriff's operations and maintain current service levels, including 24-hour patrol, the jail, criminal prosecution and juvenile offender supervision and detention.
  The Linn County Democrats have not taken a position on the law enforcement levy, but they heard a presentation by Sheriff Michelle Duncan, who spoke in favor of it during the Oct. 2 Linn Dems meeting on Zoom.
  Ballots are due by 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 4. For more information about the local option levy and ballot drop sites click the buttons below. Ballots also can be dropped off from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Linn County Clerk's Office, which has been moved from the Linn County Courthouse to the Wheelhouse building at 421 Water Avenue N.E., Suite 1300, in Albany.
