Yolo County Library

Davis Parcel Tax information

In November 2007, Davis voters approved Measure P, which increased the special tax for the Yolo County Library, with funds earmarked for the expansion of the current facilities and services of the Davis Branch Library, as well as library services for the South Davis area. The library parcel tax for the fiscal year 2024-25 is $120.80 for a single-family residence and $60.39 per unit for a multi-family residence.

Exemptions to the special tax are granted for the following:

1. Property zoned and used for agriculture and not containing a residence. To qualify for the agricultural exemption for 2024-25, complete the Application for Agricultural Special Tax Exemption form and mail to SCI Consulting Group at the address listed below.

2. A property which is not buildable or developable because of some reasonably permanent incapacity, including odd parcels or pieces which for historic or other reasons have not been merged into adjacent parcels, but which, because of size or other reasonably permanent disability, do not, or cannot, comprise a separate building site.

3. Property owned and occupied by persons of low income. “Persons of low income” shall mean property owner/occupants where total household income is less than $60,000 for 2023.

To qualify for the low-income exemption for 2024-25, complete the Application for Low-Income Special Tax Exemption form (English or Español) and provide verification of income using either the 2024 Low Income Exemption Application (English or Español) or submitting a copy of your 2023 income tax return.  Required documents should be mailed to SCI Consulting Group at the address listed below. Instructions can be found here (English or Español).

A separate exemption must be completed for each parcel on which an exemption is requested. No additional documentation providing proof of ownership is required.

The deadline to file for an exemption from the Davis special library parcel tax is June 1, 2024.
