City of Oakland Parcel Tax Refunds for Low-Income Homeowners:

Best we were able to get from the City was a new ordinance passed in April 2016 requiring the City to inform every property owner by mail of the low-income refund. Notices have still not gone out and don't even seem to be in process.

Applications are available in paper form only because the City still has not set up a web page for the parcel tax refunds.

Call 238-3789 for the application or download it from my site. http://cparaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/2015-16-City-Refund-Applica...

The application must be received by the City by June 30, 2016
