Over the course of the interview, the RAP tax was introduced and this is the feedback from the city.
Eagle Mountain City is preparing to place a Recreation, Arts, and Parks (RAP) Tax proposal on the November 2025 ballot, where residents can vote to enact a 0.1% local sales tax (equal to one cent for every 10 dollars spent within city limits) to support community-focused projects and programs.If approved by voters, the RAP Tax would generate dedicated funding for public recreation, arts, and parks initiatives in Eagle Mountain. All funds would remain local and contribute toward amenities such as trails, splash pads, youth sports programs, cultural events, and city-approved grants for nonprofit partners.The proposed RAP Tax would appear on the November 2025 ballot and, if passed, would last for ten years before requiring voter renewal. Similar sales tax measures are already in place in more than 16 cities across Utah County.
