As per the ballot language for the parcel tax, some property owners may be eligible for an exemption from the tax.  To qualify for a senior exemption from the parcel tax, you must be the owner-occupant of the property in question and at least 65 years old. To apply for the exemption you must submit a completed application form to the school district office at 201 Covington Road, Los Altos.

Other exemptions are provided for properties normally exempt from property taxes, contiguous condominium parcels owned and operated by a single business, and properties which include two parcels one of which is exceedingly small in size (such as for a driveway adjacent to a house).
