Shall Resolution No. 63236 of the County of San Mateo imposing an annual special tax for fire protection and extended police services according to the schedule therein be approved?
Type of Property All Parcels not exempted by law from ad valorem property taxes Maximum Amount/Year $65.00 per parcel
A special tax for these services has been levied since 1982, and most recently received voter approval in 1996. Presently, the Board of Supervisors determines the precise amount of the tax annually with a maximum rate of $65 per year per parcel. The special tax would continue to be levied for a period of four more years, commencing July 1, 2000 and ending June 30, 2004, and would be collected by the San Mateo County Tax Collector at the same time as and along with the general ad valorem taxes. The special tax would be subject to the same penalties as the general ad valorem tax, and the special tax and penalty shall bear interest at the same rate as the rate for unpaid ad valorem property taxes until paid. All property which otherwise would be exempt from property taxes will also be exempt from the imposition of the special tax.
