Local Tax Measure Proposed in Granite Bay and Loomis for Fire Services

Voters in Granite Bay and Loomis considered a local tax measure on October 14, 2026. The South Placer Fire District is seeking approval for Measure B, which would establish a $375 uniform parcel tax across the district to fund fire and emergency services.

The tax measure is intended to address rising operating costs and staffing shortages within the South Placer Fire District. The district has already closed two of its six fire stations due to funding and staffing challenges, and reports indicate that firefighters are working an average of 72 or more hours per week.
