The parcel tax is a form of real estate tax. Unlike most real estate taxes[citation needed] or a land value tax, it is not directly based on property value.[1] It funds K–12 public education[2]: 187 and community facilities districts, which are usually known as "Mello-Roos" districts.[1] The California parcel tax, in its typical form as a flat tax, is regressive.[3][4][5][6]
Most parcel taxes are a fixed amount per parcel, but some are based on the size of the parcel or its improvements.[7]
