Proposition EMS, if approved, would change the method by which the St. Charles County Ambulance District is funded.

Rather than gaining funding through property tax alone, the proposition seeks a 1% increase in sales tax to provide operating revenue for St. Charles ambulance districts. The District would then be required to reduce property taxes by 50% of what is generated by the sales tax.

Prop EMS’ proposed sales tax would apply to purchases within St. Charles, with specific exemptions including:

  • Diapers/Incontinence Supplies
  • Feminine Hygiene Products
  • Fuel
  • Utilities
  • Medications
