Parcel Tax

Student success can be attributed to multiple factors, including the support that schools receive from the community. Since 2017, San José Unified schools have benefitted from a voter-approved parcel tax, Measure Y, that provides over $4 million in annual local funding. The parcel tax is effective through 2024-2025 and will help support San José Unified’s efforts to: 
  • Maintain and improve core academic programming in reading, writing, math, the arts and science
  • Improve programs to prepare students for college and 21st century careers
  • Attract and retain high performing teachers and educational staff

Parcel Tax Exemptions

Dear Property Owner:

The deadline to apply for an exemption for FY 2024-25 was June 30th.  We are no longer accepting applications.

Since 2024-25 is the last year of the measure, there is no need to apply for next year. The $72.00 for the San José Unified Measure Y 2016 Parcel Tax will not be included in your property bill next year, 2025-26.

For questions, please email parceltax@sjusd.org or call Veronica Causor-Lara at 408-535-6000 ext. 17212
