Get StartedThe ASD charge has remained at $16 per year since 1996. Passing this measure increases the charge from $16 to $31 (at $5 each year - $21 in 2027; $26 in 2028; $31 in 2029) for each house, apartment, mobile/manufactured home, and assisted living unit. For businesses, RV parks and motel/hotels, the charge will increase from $16 to $31 plus an additional charge per full-time-employee (FTE) rising from $1.50 to $3.00, and a per space/room charge rising from $2 to $5. The increase generates additional revenue for the ASD. Total annual revenue from the charge is: FY2026-2027: $190,000; FY2027-2028: $249,000; FY2028-2029: $309,000; and FY 2029-2030: $380,000. Charges will appear on property tax statements beginning October 2027 and managed through the annual ASD budget. Proposed expenses include: additional time and wages of ASD director to full time, compensation for the supervising physician, disposable medical supplies, and funding to ambulance providers and nontransport EMS agencies for ambulance/vehicle replacement and repair, training and equipment.
Shall the annual ASD charge gradually increase over three years from $16 to $31 for homes/businesses?
