One Penny

What is the One Penny Vote?

City of Claremore residents will vote on a one penny sales tax measure on April 4, 2023, as part of the city’s regular general election. If approved, the measure will allocate restricted funding to meet the growing needs of Claremore’s public safety programs through the Claremore Police Department and Claremore Fire Department.

City Manager John Feary will host a series of public meetings in February and March to address questions about the measure beginning with the Claremore Chamber’s State of the City address on Feb. 16.  A full schedule of meetings is posted below.
