Colusa County Measure L: Colusa County Library Special Parcel Tax
What does this measure do?
Creates a Colusa County property tax of $85 per parcel each year, with no end date, that can only be spent on county library services like hours, books, programs, and upkeep. Property owners would pay $85 a year per parcel, rising up to 3% a year with inflation, raising about $850,000 a year.

A YES vote means
Property owners pay $85 a year per parcel, which can rise up to 3% a year, until voters end it. The money goes only to county libraries, with a citizen oversight committee.
A NO vote means
No new parcel tax. County libraries do not get this money and depend on the county budget, which the county says may lead to cuts.
