YES on Measure GG.
To support Piedmont’s essential services.
The expense of maintaining Piedmont’s facilities, streets, and sidewalks have skyrocketed.
Yet Piedmont’s transfer tax has not changed in 33 years.
The transfer tax is collected only when a home is sold or transferred and all of the funds generated stay right here in Piedmont. The cost is deductible from capital gains and is negotiated; often split between buyer and seller.
“Measure GG provides an opportunity to help ensure that Piedmont continues to be the safe, beautiful and exceptionally well-served community we know and love.”
- Teresa Baum, Realtor
Piedmont has had the same transfer tax rate for 33 years while the cost of labor and materials to repair our crumbling streets and maintain our aging facilities has been skyrocketing. Our neighboring cities have responded with increased transfer tax rates and it’s time for Piedmont to do the same.
