San Rafael is pushing to raise its real property transfer tax from 0.2% to 1% to fund critical services like police, fire, roads, and parks — a move that could bring in $6 million annually through 2029. The one-time tax hits when homes change hands, not during annual property tax bills, and only needs a simple majority to pass in November. While city leaders argue it’s vital to fix crumbling infrastructure and cover budget gaps, critics worry it’ll burden sellers — especially those in high-cost categories like memory care — and could deter home sales. With the county taking most of the revenue, some question whether this tax hike is fair or sustainable for residents.
