Funding Information

CSA 11’s fundamental source of revenue is from property taxes, as well as from Measure F, which passed in 2014. CSA 11 also receives some funds transferred from other CSAs and special districts to meet their recreation and park services obligations.

Property Taxes

The County Service Area 11 receives property taxes in order to provide park services within the unincorporated county. These funds are collected when people pay their property tax bills and allocated into the County Parks budget during budget hearings annually.

CSA 11 is not a special tax assessment, but rather a part of the 1.0% general tax rate on your property tax bill. The portion of the general tax rate that is assessed for CSA 11 is 0.00099%. Thus, for every $100 paid in taxes, just under 10 cents goes into CSA 11.

Measure F

Measure F is a voter-approved parcel tax (2014) that provides dedicated funding for parks and recreation in unincorporated areas. Measure F is a specific property tax of $8.50 per year per improved (built) parcel. It currently generates approximately $340,000 per year, with 10% dedicated to capital projects.
