Ross Valley School District is proposing a new parcel tax based on the size of your house. The initial rate would be $.52 per square foot, and increase 3% per year. The tax would expire in nine years. This would replace the current parcel tax, which is a fixed amount per property, regardless of house size. Most people will see an increase in the tax due; the larger your house, the more your tax will increase.
Current Tax Rate: $720.68 per year per parcel (FY2025-26 rate; escalates 3% per year)
Proposed Tax Rate: $0.52 per year per sq foot (FY2025-26 rate; escalates 3% per year)
Example:
Size of Buildings: 2,250 square feet
Current Tax: $720.68 (FY 2025/26 rate)
Proposed Tax: $1,170.00
Tax Increase/(Decrease): $449.32
Percentage Change: 62%
