The original ballot measure, Measure N, approved by voters in 2014, set a tax of $120 per parcel. That tax is due to expire in 2024. This new measure would extend the tax to 2037 and would add annual cost-of-living increases up to 5% per year. If, for example, the cost of living averages 4% annually, the yearly tax at the end of the 14-year period would be $200.
It’s understandable if Oakland property owners are reluctant to support the measure because they already feel tapped out by special school and youth taxes.
