Parcel tax elections are held when a taxing district in California wants to raise revenues through imposing an additional tax called a parcel tax. Parcel taxes are a form of special property tax, which must be paid by the owners of parcels, or units, of real estate. However, unlike standard property taxes, which are based on the value of the property, a parcel tax is an assessment based on the characteristics of the parcel. These assessments can include taxing a parcel based on square footage or by dwelling unit, or the tax may be a flat rate per parcel.

If approved by voters, parcel taxes can be imposed on public school districts and on other local units of government, including cities, counties, and special districts.

As of 2022, California is the only state to allow parcel taxes as a method for funding schools.[1]

### 2008-2020[edit]

During the decade, school parcel tax measures appeared on ballots within counties in the San Francisco Bay Area—San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Alameda, Marin, Contra Costa, Sonoma, and Solano—a total of 264 times. This means that 67.3% of all school parcel tax measures were on Bay Area ballots between 2008 and 2020.[5]

#### Approval rates by county[edit]

The majority of all school parcel tax approvals were concentrated in the Bay Area. This means that school districts in the San Francisco Bay Area are the most likely to use a parcel tax for school funding of any place in the state or country.

See the map below to learn where school parcel tax measures were approved between 2008 and 2020.

## Background[edit]

### School districts implement parcel taxes[edit]

California school districts first placed parcel tax questions on the ballot in 1983. Seven school districts referred parcel tax measures to the ballot that year. Three of those measures were approved.[16] According to a 2013 study released by EdSource, approximately 10 percent of California's school districts had a parcel tax in place in 2012. The study also noted that parcel tax revenue in a given district accounted for 6 percent of school funds on average, though certain districts relied on the revenue more heavily.[17] Though the data extends only through 2012, the study by EdSource is one of the most comprehensive recent reports on school parcel taxes in California. Further data on school parcel tax elections can be found below.

### Borikas v. Alameda Unified School District[edit]

Before December 2012, some school districts had assessed residential and non-residential parcels using separate methods. This practice was ruled illegal in Borikas v. Alameda Unified School District, a decision made by the California Courts of Appeal. Under this ruling, state law mandates that school parcel taxes apply "uniformly to all taxpayers or all real property within the school district." This means that parcel taxes cannot be applied according to different tax rate systems based on different types of property.

## Supermajority requirement[edit]

According to Proposition 13, enacted by the state's voters in 1978, local districts can levy parcel taxes (which are non-ad valorem taxes) only with a two-thirds (66.67 percent) supermajority vote. A non-ad valorem tax is one that is not based on the value of the property that is being taxed.

Proposition 13 also required a two-thirds (66.67 percent) supermajority vote in order to approve a local school district bond measure. However, California's voters approved Proposition 39 on November 7, 2000. Proposition 39 reduced the supermajority requirement for school bonds from two-thirds to 55 percent.
