Measure Z Reduces the Local Sewer Costs for Residents

Property owners in Yucca Valley subject to the Phase 1 Sewer Assessment District number 2014-1 will pay $393.16 instead of the original $706.50 on their 2024/2025 property tax bill thanks to Measure Z (46% savings).

Measure Z is a half-cent sales tax passed by Yucca Valley voters in 2016. About half of the sales tax in Yucca Valley is paid by visitors shopping in Yucca Valley. Revenues are collected by the Town and passed thru to the Hi-Desert Water District to pay a portion of property owner’s annual property tax payments for the Phase 1 Sewer Assessment District.

The total amount received from Measure Z for this tax year (FY 24/25) is $2,738,717.87. Since 2016, Measure Z has contributed $16,022,924.19 to help pay for Assessment District 2014-1.

The following table represents the 2024/25 Annual Property Tax Charges before and after Measure Z.
