Seniors, People With Disabilities Can Start Applying For Measure A Tax Reduction

Senior citizens age 65 and older and people with disabilities living within the Elk Grove Unified School District have until June 30 to apply for a 70 percent Measure A tax reduction.

Under 1987's Measure A, qualified applicants living in houses built before 1987 would pay $13.75 in annual property tax instead of $45.84. Those living in houses built between Jan. 26, 1987 and June 30, 1998 would pay $35.35 instead of $117,84. Same rates apply to apartments and mobile homes. 

To qualify, applicants should also have no school-age children living with them. People can apply by phone, mail, or in person. For more information, call the district's Facilities and Planning Department at (916) 686-7562, or send an email to schooltax@egusd.net.
