Measure MM would fund Oakland’s Vegetation Management Plan.
Only residents in the Wildfire Prevention Zone, the part of the Oakland hills classified by CalFire as a very high fire hazard severity zone, would vote on and pay the tax. There are about 26,00 parcels. It needs 67 percent to pass since it is a special tax. Owners of these properties will be assessed $99 per parcel or the pro-rated equivalent for multi-unit or commercial properties. Low-income owners are exempted. The tax would change with the consumer price index or 5 percent annually, whichever is lower. It sunsets in 20 years.
