ABOUT MEAsure T
On September 14, 2021, Measure T was passed by voters within the Truckee Fire Protection District. This measure levies a special tax of $179 per parcel, per year, creating a dedicated source of local funding for wildfire prevention. The measure has an 8-year sunset, at which time it will need voter approval to continue.
The tax first appeared on the 2022/2023 tax bill, and the District received the first full year of revenues in July 2023.
This special tax creates an annual $3.7 million dollar Community Wildfire Prevention Fund that will be spent on various fuel reduction and wildfire prevention projects to reduce the threat of wildfire in the Truckee and Donner Summit wildland urban interface areas.
The District is working to continue to secure grant funding and matching funds from land managers whenever possible to leverage the Measure T funds.
Although the District is working to implement the various wildfire prevention programs, it's important to remember that this fuels problem has been growing for 100 years, and it will take the next 10-20 years of consistent fuels reduction to make a significant impact.
