Clifton Open Space Trust Fund

The Clifton Open Space Trust Fund is a local open space tax, approved by residents, that levies 0.01 cent per $100 of assessed value, aiming to generate around $1 million annually. These funds are used for acquiring and maintaining open spaces within the city, like parks, trails, and natural areas.
