Local Tax Election Results:
In June 2 Elections, Three of Five Parcel Taxes Pass

Five parcel tax elections were held in California on June 2 – three passed and two failed.

The Novato Unified School District's Measure A, a $96 parcel tax increase and six-year extension, barely passed with 68.72 percent voting yes. The measure needed a two-thirds majority.

In other election results, voters in the Piedmont Unified School District overwhelmingly agreed to combine and extend two existing parcel taxes and to impose an additional one. That brings the district's total annual school parcel taxes to about $2,000 per household, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The two remaining parcel taxes, in Alameda and San Mateo counties, failed to get the two-thirds votes needed for passage. (Source: San Francisco Chronicle, June 2.)
