Taxation

General Information
The residents of Mountain House are subject to the prop 13 property tax and several special taxes (and other misc. taxes) which fund the MHCSD and the various agencies that serve them.

Sales Tax
Sales tax will not become a source of revenue for the community until we incorporate as a city.

Property Tax
A property tax is assessed on each parcel and 1% of its assessed value subject to proposition 13 is charged each year. The majority of this tax goes to the county and state to provide services. Approximately 13% of this tax is given back to Mountain House to fund the MHCSD General Fund.

Special Assessments
There are 4 special assessments (taxes) on the property tax bill that fund additional operations of the MHCSD. These special taxes may be increased upto 4% a year.

Other Taxes
Also included on the property tax bill are assessments for the schools run by Lammersville Unified School District, high schools run by Tracy Unified School District, Delta College and some other local agencies.

Other Fees
The MHCSD also generates some revenue from fines associated with CC&R enforcement and from services provided.
