The process to plan for the 2026 General Obligation Bond began in 2023 and will continue through the election on April 7, 2026. The Bond will feature upgrades to public infrastructure, public safety services, and enhance the quality of life in Broken Arrow, and if approved, the city's current millage rate for property taxes is expected to remain the same.
As part of the planning process, the city solicited feedback from citizens by way of surveys. Your input with these surveys helped identify which growth opportunities are important to you to the enhance the quality of life in Broken Arrow.
On June 18, 2025, the Broken Arrow City Council convened a special meeting to review and discuss the proposed capital improvement projects that had been submitted for consideration of the General Obligation Bond which will go before voters on April 7, 2026. You can watch the presentations here on the city's YouTube channel.
The 2026 Bond is not the first such vote in BA. In fact, Broken Arrow voters have a long history of supporting bond issues through their approval of several initiatives over the years since 1997. To learn more about General Obligation Bonds, please review the answers that follow in our FAQ.
Frequently Asked Questions
A General Obligation bond, or GO Bond, is a common financing tool local and state governments use to fund certain projects – usually large capital improvements like roads, bridges, flood control, parks and public buildings.
In Oklahoma, the property tax received by the City, also known as ad valorem tax, is used to pay the interest and principal on GO Bonds. GO Bonds must be approved by a vote of the people.
No. The GO Bonds being voted on in April 2026 will replace GO Bonds that have been paid off. If Propositions 1 through 7 are approved by voters, the city’s levy for property taxes is expected to remain the same, and those taxes would fund improvement projects outlined in each of the first 7 propositions.
Proposition 8, if approved, would include a temporary half-penny sales tax increase to pay for improvements at the public sports facilities in Broken Arrow. That temporary increase would expire after 5 years.
The election is scheduled for April 7, 2026.
You will vote in the precinct assigned to you by the election board. To locate your precinct, view sample ballots, update your voter registration or complete an absentee ballot, visit the OK Voter Portal.
There will be separate propositions for you to vote on. Each proposition will require you to vote either for or against the proposition. Here are the 7 propositions of the no property tax rate increase General Obligation Bond initiative.
- Proposition No. 1 – Transportation
- Proposition No. 2 – Public Safety
- Proposition No. 3 – Parks and Recreation
- Proposition No. 4 – Public Facilities
- Proposition No. 5 – Stormwater
- Proposition No. 6 – Drainage
- Proposition No. 7 - South Broken Arrow Library in partnership with Tulsa City-County Library
Proposition Eight includes a temporary 0.5% sales tax increase for major sports facility improvements, with design starting in spring 2026 and construction beginning about a year later. Those facilities would be Indian Springs Sports Complex, Arrowhead Softball Complex, and Nienhuis football/lacrosse stadiums. If approved by voters, the sales tax would expire after five years.
For Named Projects, if the proposition is approved by voters, state law requires the City to complete these projects as described.
For Unnamed Projects, these projects have been identified by the City of Broken Arrow as potential improvements, but they are not required by state law to be completed if the proposition is approved. Unnamed projects are considered after named projects and take second priority using bond funds that are remaining from the Named Projects.
First, it's important to understand that approval of the 2026 GO Bond does not mean the entire amount of the bond initiative would be available immediately. Funds would become available each year through a bond sale based on the assessed value of real properties in Broken Arrow.
The city will first look at how much can be issued with each annual bond sale. Next, it will look at project and initiative priorities, which will be streets and public safety. Finally, city officials will plan funding for projects that take multiple years.
