Proposed Town Budget Includes 20% Homestead Exemption
Town Council is scheduled to approve the new budget Sept. 18
The Sunnyvale Town Council is reviewing the proposed budget and tax rate for fiscal year 2023-24. A public hearing and first reading of an ordinance to adopt the new budget and tax rate occurred during the Town Council's Sept. 11 meeting. 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.
