On November 5,2024, voters approved Measure U Parcel Tax which renews the expiring Measure G with no increase, of $142.00 per parcel for eight years.  Parcel Tax funds allow Moreland School District to support grades Pre-Kindergarten to 8th grade students by attracting and retaining high quality teachers, maintain high-quality science, reading and math programs, including classroom technology and learning materials, keep class sizes small and keep school libraries open and accessible to students. Measure U outlines that all funds must stay local and dedicated to Moreland School District schools only for instructional and educational needs.  An independent Citizens' Oversight Committee and mandatory audits will ensure Measure U funds are spent properly. The tax is assessed against each parcel of taxable land within MSD boundaries.

Exemptions from the $142.00 Moreland School District Parcel Tax are available to Senior Citizens (65 years or older) who own and occupy, as a principal residence, a parcel and apply to the District for exemption. In addition, we have available Supplemental Security Income Exemption (SSI) (owner/occupants receiving supplemental security income for a disability), SS Disability Insurance (SSDI), and a Contiguous Parcel Tax Exemption.   

Applications period for the 2025-2026 exemption are being accepted now through  June 15, 2025.
