Mayor’s Message

At the heart of every thriving community there are good people, good businesses, and good relationships that connect us together. Although we are only 8.5 square miles, Lindon packs in a wide variety of services and amenities including some of the highest per capita parks, trails, and open space for our residents as well as a strong and well-rounded business ecosystem that includes everything from innovative manufacturers to small businesses, globally recognized corporations, as well as some of the top retailers. Most importantly, it is the simple good daily lives of our people who live and work here helping one another that make Lindon City so special.

Originally settled in 1861, Lindon began as pioneers moved into what was then grazing lands for ranching. This year’s theme “Round ‘em Up” reminds us of our heritage both past and present as we gather to celebrate our community. Although open lands have given way to urban farms, homes, and businesses, we are still blessed to be a wonderful town that hosts an amazing quality of life. Come enjoy the 5K run, Breakfast with First Responders, Car Show, Pool Activities, Ice Cream Social, Huck Finn Fishing, Rodeo, Parade, Concerts, Fireworks, and so much more!

Thank you for what you do to support and care for your local neighbors, businesses, and community that make Lindon a safe, neighborly and friendly place to live, raise a family, or grow a business. We have so much to be grateful for and have many more exciting things to enjoy together during our Lindon Days events!

The Lindon City Youth Council is an organization that is dedicated to providing leadership training and service opportunities for interested Lindon youth in grades 9-12. Youth Council offers Lindon area teens opportunities to gain a greater understanding and appreciation for their community, its citizens, and elected officials through service and interaction.

Grand Marshals

Cheryl and Vaughan Austin have lived in Lindon for 43 years. Their five children; Mark, Todd, Michelle, Malinda, and Sabrina, graduated from Pleasant Grove High School. The three girls also attended Lindon Elementary. They found Lindon to be a great place to live and raise a family. Three of their children now live in Lindon with families of their own.

Cheryl and Vaughan have served in several city assignments. Years ago, Cheryl helped put together a carnival for Lindon Days and Vaughan loved participating in the parade and many other events. Their children participated in the horse events and all have loved the wonderful community spirit that exists in Lindon. Now with eighteen grandchildren and five great grandchildren they plan on many more fun Lindon Days ahead.

Vaughan served on the Lindon City Planning Commission a couple of times. During his time as a Commissioner, a master plan was put together for city development including the recreation paths that run throughout Lindon. A survey was sent out to all the families asking for their input and many things we see today in Lindon are a result of citizen’s suggestions. Our recreation paths, parks, lots for large gardens, and animal rights are just a few of the suggestions that became a part of the development plan.

Cheryl was the second daughter in her family of two children. She was born in Salt Lake City. She was a New Year’s baby and we thank her grandmother for saving her life as a baby. Her father worked for the Standard Oil Company and they moved a lot. Her favorite place growing up was Denver and Cherry Hill High School. She loved being very active and was a cheerleader among many other things. Her father was transferred to Provo and she graduated from Provo High School. She moved into the neighborhood where Vaughan’s family lived and they began dating and were married a year and a half later.

Vaughan was the fifth child in a family of six children, four boys and two girls. He was born in Afton, Wyoming. His father was a Case Implement Dealer. The family loved living in Star Valley, Wyoming. The people were the best, just like Lindon. He had the perfect childhood, the beautiful outdoors, animals, sports, and great friends. His father sold the business and the family moved to Edgemont, which was eventually incorporated into Provo. He attend Lincoln Junior High and Orem High School.

Vaughan and Cheryl have lived in Edgemont, Lakeview, Orem, and Lindon. They served in many community and church positions in all of these locations. After Vaughan graduated from Brigham Young University he taught school for many years at Orem High. Cheryl loved being involved with her children as PTA President and Cheerleading Coach at Pleasant Grove High School. Vaughan was also Scera Recreation Director in Orem while teaching. He then went into a real estate business with some very good friends.

They are very grateful for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that has provided them so many opportunities to serve their friends and neighbors in callings, mission’s, temple and family history work, and making it possible for them to have a forever family. They spent many years serving the Young Single Adults including a full time mission to Cherry Hills, New Jersey. They are retired now and are so happy to live in a Community with the type of neighbors and leadership that love our American values and ideals. God bless America and our little corner of heaven here in Lindon.

It felt scary for her to be in the ER, and that’s why she wanted to help provide comfort and fun for other kids who need to go to the ER. Ellie’s heart was overflowing with happiness when she received messages from the hospital telling how helpful and how much excitement her kits were bringing kids in the ER.

PARC Tax

The Lindon PARC Tax will be on the election ballot this November for the residents of Lindon to decide if they want to renew this sales use tax for another 10 years.

PARC is an acronym for Parks, Arts, Recreation, & Culture. In 2013, 66.7% of Lindon City voters approved a 1/10th of 1% (0.1%) increase in the local sales and use tax as a means of enhancing funding for local recreational facilities and parks, as well as support for arts and cultural organizations within Lindon City.

Where does the sales tax come from?

Revenue comes from all shoppers (Lindon Residents and Non-Residents) who shop and do business in Lindon. The city estimates that up to 45-55% of sales taxes received within Lindon are paid by individuals and businesses from outside the City. Other near-by cities have also passed a similar tax including Orem, Pleasant Grove, Cedar Hills, American Fork, Provo, and Payson. All customers that shop in those cities also pay the tax to the respective city.

What is the sales tax revenue used for?

PARC Tax revenue may be used for parks, trails, community arts, historic & cultural programs, the Community Center, Aquatics Center, and potential grant funding for non-profit cultural organizations with a heavy presence in Lindon.

How much is $0.01 Sales Tax??
