Golf Course Fees and Equipment
Kaysville is leveling up the cart fleet at Eaglewood Golf Course, but it's going to cost local golfers a bit more to play this season.
Sales Tax Increase
Davis County just approved a sales tax hike to 7.45% starting next year, which will rake in nearly $16 million a year for local roads and cops, including a direct cash cut for Kaysville.
