Napa County November 3, 2026 (localnewsmatters.org) — Napa County voters will decide Measure B on November 3, 2026, a proposed half‑percent sales tax lasting 18 years to fund wildfire preparedness, watershed protection, and open space. Revenue would be split between the county and the Napa County Regional Park and Open Space District, awarded mainly through competitive grants and overseen by a resident committee.
