Boulder residents will soon receive a survey about the city’s proposed climate tax that could appear on the November ballot. 

Registered voters will received a link to the survey via a text message.

The survey is open through June 2 and is offered in English and Spanish, according to the city. 

The survey will ask registered voters for feedback on a proposal that would expand the community’s investment in climate and resilience programs. 

Boulder residents pay around $4 million a year for climate and sustainability programs; however, the funding is set to expire next year.

The proposal would create a new climate tax that would raise about $5 million per year. The proposal would reduce the annual tax rate for residents by 11%, while the tax on commercial and industrial businesses would increase 55% and 97%, respectively, according to the city. 

City officials said they plan to conduct more surveys later this month and will hold focus groups.
