City Hall and other offices will be closed to the public from December 23 to January 3, but appointments are available upon request. Public safety and emergency services remain available 24/7.  

I saw an assessment on my property tax bill. What is it for?

There are a number of special assessments from the City of San Rafael that might appear on your property tax bill. Common assessments are:

  • Library parcel tax imposed by Measure D to maintain San Rafael Public Library services
  • Paramedic tax imposed by ballot measure to maintain rapid emergency response times
  • Clean stormwater activity fee imposed by city ordinance to maintain public storm drain facilities
  • Code Enforcement inspection fee imposed by city resolution to fund the inspection of apartments and hotels
