Measure P Parcel Tax

WHAT IS MEASURE P?

Measure P is a parcel tax on the November 2026 Election ballot. Levied on a flat per-parcel basis, parcel taxes are used to fund educational programs and services and to support teachers and staff. If approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast, it will replace Measure G and raise approximately $1.1 million annually for six years to provide Mammoth Unified School District with financial resources to fund programs throughout the district.

WHAT PROGRAMS ARE INCLUDED IN MEASURE P?

• Attracting and retaining qualified, high-performing teachers

• Enhancing student counseling programs

• Strengthening core curriculum

• Keeping class sizes small in the early grades

• Supporting extracurricular activities and athletic programs

• Maintaining library staff and services

• Updating and supporting classroom technology, software and equipment

• Providing students with books and classroom supplies

• Enhancing math and science classes

• Supporting music, arts and enrichment programs

HOW MUCH WILL MEASURE P COST?

Measure P’s annual $99 tax per parcel replaces Measure G’s $59 tax. Measure P expires in six years and will not be adjusted annually for inflation. Funds come from a flat tax on all parcels – residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial – located within the district.

IS THERE AN EXEMPTION FOR SENIOR CITIZENS?

Yes, homeowners who are 65+ can apply for an exemption for their primary residence.

WHAT TAXPAYER PROTECTIONS ARE IN PLACE?

Measure P ensures full public disclosure of all spending. A third-party auditor will audit all expenditures. Measure P includes a specific list of programs on which funds may be spent. Funds must be spent on Mammoth Unified School District’s programs and cannot be taken by the state.

A California Parcel Tax Oversight Committee is a local body appointed by a school district or agency board to ensure tax proceeds are spent only on voter-approved purposes, typically requiring annual reports and independent audits.
