Prop 440 (0.25% Sales Tax Initiative) will be on the November 3, 2026, ballot to help acquire the 4,005 acres of Open Space for Conservation and Recreation within the Town of Cave Creek. For more information go to www.yesonprop440.com.

  • Prop 440 would add a 0.25% sales tax, with all revenue dedicated exclusively to purchasing the 4,005-acre open space network.
  • How much is 0.25% sales tax? For every $4 spent in Cave Creek, an extra penny is collected for the fund.
  • This one cent for every $4 spent will raise $1.1 million a year.
  • The 0.25% sales tax will expire on the earlier of 25 years, or once sufficient funds have been collected, to provide for the State Trust land purchases.
