California's unique use of parcel taxes

On this episode: Property taxes are used to fund all sorts of different municipal services. In California, local jurisdictions use parcel taxes–which are a specific type of property tax. Voters get to weigh in on whether or not these taxes get imposed, and many counties will have the chance to do so next week on March 5th when voters head to the polls. BP’s Ryan Byrne joins the show to explain what they are, how they work, and their odds of being approved and implemented statewide based on recent history.  Learn more: https://ballotpedia.org/Parcel_tax_elections_in_California  Donate to BP: donate.ballotpedia.org/ontheballot2024    Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates  Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.
