Proposed Town Budget Includes 20% Homestead Exemption
Coming up in September, the Sunnyvale Town Council will begin reviewing the proposed budget and tax rate for fiscal year 2023-24. A public hearing will be held during the Town Council's Sept. 11 meeting followed by the first reading of an ordinance to adopt the new budget and tax rate. A second reading of the ordinance and final adoption of the proposed budget and tax rate will be held Sept. 18 at 6 p.m.
A significant feature of the new budget will be Sunnyvale's newly-approved 20% homestead exemption which will save Sunnyvale homeowners a cumulative $1.3 million for their property taxes. Learn more about the homestead exemption at TownofSunnyvale.org/Homestead.

Town Deploys New Traffic Enforcement Patrols
In response to residents' concerns about traffic safety in Sunnyvale, Town leadership has deployed a special unit to improve enforcement of traffic laws. Speeding motorists impact traffic flow and cause accidents.
The Sunnyvale Police Department has acquired two new traffic enforcement vehicles and hired two new police officers to staff this traffic unit. Two additional officers will be requested in the upcoming 2023-24 Town budget.
Motorists will see a heavy patrol presence in high-impact areas such as Collins, Tripp, Mitchell, Jobson and Rebecca Roads.
