Parcel Tax Exemptions

In June 2014, voters in the Marin County Free Library District renewed Measure A, which assessed a $49 per parcel special tax on parcels located in the Marin County Free Library District, effective 2015 through 2024 with annual CPI adjustments 2016 through 2024. The special tax provides critical funding to bring local libraries up to date, prevent closures, maintain library hours, preserve educational and job-seeking resources for low-income residents, prevent staff lay-offs, maintain collections of books, CDs, DVDs, materials and services, provide ADA accessibility, and ensure local funding that can’t be taken by the state.
