Two reasons: First, Mecklenburg County has raised its property tax rate 3 times just in the past 5 years and 9 times since 1987. The tax bill property owners get shows the total amount of the property tax owed - both City and County. Second, if the value of your property has increased significantly, your taxes went up when your property was revalued EVEN THOUGH the City Council rolled back the tax rate to make the tax impact neutral for City residents.

Property taxes are collected by the County, although they are governed by California State law. The Tax Collector of Sonoma County collects taxes on behalf of the following entities: the County, the County's 9 incorporated cities, over 40 school districts, and all other taxing agencies located in the County, including over 70 special districts (e.g., flood control districts, sanitation districts).

The total sales tax rate is 7?? (City/County, CATS, and State). The local share of that-2??- is divided between the City, the towns and the County. Another ?? of the total is the voter-approved dedicated funding for transit.

You may apply for homestead exemptions on your principal residence. Homestead exemptions remove part of your home's value from taxation, so they lower taxes. For example, your home is appraised at $50,000, and you qualify for a $15,000 exemption, you will pay taxes on the home as if it was worth only $35,000.

In 1987, the City raised the property tax rate to begin a "Pay-As-You-Go" program for infrastructure projects (versus funding the projects through debt financing).

Note: The County tax for residents of the unincorporated area (includes tax to pay for police service) is $1.0136 (FY06 actual).

The City can cover current services, including higher costs for them, without a rate increase. The increase is recommended because some problems are becoming too great to ignore without seriously and negatively impacting the economic health and livability of the City. The additional revenue would pay for new police officers, needed road improvements, revitalizing neighborhoods, and increasing the availability of affordable housing.
