Columbia Falls property owners have a very important vote on this year’s ballet. The city of Columbia Falls resort tax is a must YES vote. At stake is an estimated $12-$15 million revenue infusion over the next 20 years or more specifically an estimated average of $600,000 to $800,000 per year funding for our citizen’s critical need of decreased property taxes while also funding our emergency services.
