City of Victor Announces November 4 Ballot Measure on Local Option Tax

VICTOR, IDAHO – The City of Victor will hold a Non-Property Sales Tax Election on November 4, 2025, allowing voters to decide on Ordinance O642, which would amend the municipal Local Option Tax on short-term lodging accommodations.

Voters will be asked whether to adopt an ordinance that would:

Increase the tax rate for room occupancy charge from 6% to 8% on all short-term rental (30 days or less) charges for hotel-motel rooms, condominium units, tourist homes, vacation rentals, or other sleeping accommodations

Extend the duration of the tax, which is currently scheduled to expire on July 1, 2036, to July 1, 2050

The ballot measure would add 2% to the existing Local Option Tax of 6%. If approved, the measure would extend the tax for an additional 14 years beyond its current expiration date.

The Local Option Tax is applied only to short-term lodging stays of 30 days or less. It does not apply to long-term rentals or residential property. Revenue generated from this tax is used to fund city services, infrastructure, and community programs.

Public Notice for Planning & Zoning Commission

The portion of the S. Agate pathway currently marked in red has been closed due to the construction of new apartment buildings and the necessary realignment of the pathway itself. This closure is temporary but essential for both construction worker and public safety during the active building phase.

Ahead of issuing the building permit, we worked with the developer to maintain connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists during this construction period:

All pathways shown in green on the construction map will remain open throughout the duration of the development

The Baseline pathway may experience partial closures during construction, but will be kept open before and after school hours to ensure students can safely access the school and park areas

Alternative routes remain available via the green-marked pathways

The positioning of the construction fencing was determined by safety requirements and the scope of work needed for both the apartment construction and pathway realignment. We recognize this is an important transportation route for the community, particularly for families and students and intend to reopen that section of pathway as soon as it is safe and reasonable to do so. Additionally, there will be future improvements to the crosswalk as part of the pathway realignment project.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in the meantime.

Street Treatment

Keeping irrigation canals clean and flowing properly is crucial for effective water management, especially with junior water rights. Here's why it matters:

When canals are clogged with debris, less water flows through them. Clean canals allow water to move efficiently, seeping into the ground along the way. This natural seepage is valuable because it recharges underground aquifers - natural water storage systems beneath our feet.

Well-maintained canals create a win-win situation. The water that seeps downward replenishes aquifers, which helps maintain groundwater levels for everyone. At the same time, this process maximizes the amount of water that reaches its intended destination for immediate use.

If canals aren't properly maintained, less water reaches fields and less seeps into aquifers. This often forces water users to purchase additional storage water to compensate - an unnecessary expense that proper maintenance can help avoid.

For those with junior water rights (meaning others get priority during shortages), maximizing every drop is especially important. Clean, efficient canals help extend limited water supplies further into the dry season when water becomes scarce.

Simply put: Clear canals mean more water reaches its destination, more water recharges underground supplies naturally, and water users can make their allotment last longer without buying expensive supplemental water - keeping both crops and bank accounts healthier through the season.

Keeping Irrigation Canals Clear: Benefits for Water Management

Teton County Launches Safe Streets for All Safety Action Plan Community Invited to Participate in Public Outreach Kicking Off June 6, 2025.

Driggs, ID — May 28, 2025 — Teton County is proud to announce the launch of its Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Safety Action Plan, a major initiative aimed at improving roadway safety for all residents and visitors. This planning effort is made possible through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program, which provides federal funding to help communities develop comprehensive strategies to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. 

A Safety Action Plan is a data-driven, community-informed approach to reducing traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries. It identifies high-risk areas, sets safety goals, and outlines actionable steps to create safer streets for people of all ages and abilities—whether walking, biking, driving, or using transit. 

Public Engagement:  
Public participation is a cornerstone of the Teton County SS4A Safety Action Plan. The County invites all residents to engage in shaping the future of local transportation safety through a series of outreach efforts taking place from June through November 2025. 

The public engagement campaign will kick off with a Town Hall and Website Launch on:
