2026 General Obligation Bond

The City of Broken Arrow is preparing for the next General Obligation Bond Election in April 2026. A General Obligation, or GO Bond, is a common financing tool governments use to fund certain infrastructure improvements such as roads, bridges, flood control, parks, and public buildings. In Oklahoma, the property tax received by the city is used to pay the interest and principal on GO Bonds. GO Bonds must be approved by a vote of the people.

To help prepare for the upcoming GO Bond Election, the city is soliciting feedback from citizens by way of surveys. Your input with these surveys will help identify which growth opportunities are important to you to the enhance the quality of life in Broken Arrow.
