Plumas County adopts basic tax rate resolution; bond rates set for 2025–26 tax bills

The Plumas County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution setting the county’s basic tax rate and authorizing collection of local bond rates that will appear on the 2025–26 secured property tax bills, the board said Sept. 8.

County staff presented the bond calculations and noted they are based on the certified assessed values provided by the county assessor. County staff listed the bond rates that will be included on the coming year’s tax bills: Measure A, $11.94 per $100,000 of assessed value; Measure B, $30.34 per $100,000; Seneca Healthcare District bond, $80.00 per $100,000 in that district; and the Plumas District Hospital bond, $34.47 per $100,000.

“Measure A will be $11.94 per $100,000 and Measure B at $30.34 this coming year per 100,000 dollars of assessed value,” County staff Martie Newman told the board. Newman reminded supervisors that bond calculations use certified values supplied by the county assessor.

A roll-call vote was taken after board discussion; the clerk recorded affirmative votes from the supervisors present and the resolution was approved. County staff noted the bonds apply to secured property values and that unsecured roll calculations follow the prior secured‑roll rates as included in the resolution.

The board’s packet included the resolution and backup showing certified assessed values and the calculation methodology. The board did not change any bond rates during the meeting and no additional budget appropriations were required for this item.
