Hi, my name is _______. I live in _________. Please stop the Solar Property Tax from going into effect in 2027 in our county. That would simply punish people for trying to lower their energy bill, and make California’s affordability problem worse. Thank you.

I want to let people know that many solar owners could face higher property taxes in 2027 unless our county officials stop it. A higher property tax could be triggered if you: add a battery to your existing system, add more solar panels on your roof, or install a new rooftop solar system. 

A Solar Property Tax makes no sense. Putting rooftop solar on your home doesn’t add costs to the city or county. In fact, rooftop solar reduces strain on the electrical grid and prevents blackouts.

For 40 years, the state Legislature has ensured that your property taxes won’t go up if you put solar on your roof or a battery in your garage. 

However, that protection will expire by the end of the year. But county officials can decide to do the right thing and NOT charge a new Solar Property Tax.
