Election Day is Saturday, May 4, 2019. Polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Also up for approval by voters is Proposition A by Fairfield Hospital District (FHD) to raise the tax rate cap “not to exceed 25 cents on each $100.00 valuation of all taxable property in the district.”
This is the first request to raise the cap since FHD was first formed, thirty years ago. This would raise the tax rate cap to the state average.
The actual tax rate will be determined later this year, once property appraisals have been completed.
Members of the FHD Board have stated their intention of keeping tax rates as low as possible, with the eventual goal of operating independently of taxpayers, according to Board President George Robinson.
