The Ross Valley School District offers a Parcel Tax exemption for senior citizens. We offer the exemption using the parcel tax schedule which starts on July 1 and ends on June 1st.
You must meet ALL of the following criteria to qualify for a parcel tax exemption during any tax year:
- you must have attained age 65 prior to June 1 of any applicable year;
- you must be the owner or a beneficial owner* of the parcel;
- you must use the parcel as your principal place of residence.
*”Beneficial Owner” means that you have title in your name, or title may be held for your benefit by a trustee or other fiduciary who acts on your behalf, such as a partner, corporation, lessor, obligee under a contract of sale, etc
Once you have applied and been approved for an exemption, it will remain in effect for each year. You do not need to reapply every year.
