November 3, 2026 Election
LOCAL EMS. REAL IMPACT.
Klickitat County EMS District #1 is asking voters to approve a permanent levy to maintain the high-quality emergency medical services our community depends on.
About the Levy
What Is This Levy?
Klickitat County EMS District #1 is asking voters to make the current $0.50 per $1,000 EMS operating levy permanent. This proposal would not increase the current tax rate. It would allow KCEMS District #1 to maintain consistent funding for emergency medical services, staffing, and life-saving equipment throughout Klickitat County, helping us continue providing reliable 24/7 paramedic coverage to our communities.
