Official Notice from School District Regarding the Parcel Tax Senior Exemption

An exemption from the school district’s parcel tax is available to eligible senior citizens who reside in property they own within the boundary of the school district as follows: “In order to provide tax relief to senior citizens in the community, any parcel owned and occupied by a person 65 years of age or older shall be exempt from the tax upon proper application to the District.”  

Property owners with a valid senior exemption are NOT required to reapply to renew their eligibility. If you received your tax exemption in the 2013-14 fiscal year and are still the homeowner and currently reside at the same address, you do not need to renew your tax exemption, it will be automatically renewed. If you sold your home and purchased a new home within the District boundary, you must reapply for a senior citizen parcel tax exemption for the new property.  

The deadline for property owners who wish to request a tax exemption for the 2014-15 fiscal year, has been extended to June 30, 2014.

Eligible property owners must complete and return the form and supporting documents by June 30, 2014. Senior exemption claim forms can be found on the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District’s website, www.livermoreschools.com, and the District office, 685 East Jack London Blvd., Livermore, CA 94551.  

If you have questions, or wish to have a form mailed to you, please contact the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District at 925-606-3382.
