Overview:

Measure A is a special tax levied on all taxable parcels within Marin County. The special tax is $29 per Single-Family Residential parcel, and $26.10 per dwelling unit for Multi-Family Residential parcels. Agricultural, Commercial, Industrial, and Utility parcels are also charged at various rates.

The special tax funds the improvement of the County’s emergency communications and 911 call system, and a reduction in emergency response times.
