NEW HOMEOWNER TAX:
As of April 30th your Garden Grove paramedic tax increased from 2.5% to 6% of your assessed property value according to county records. An average home paid $100.00 per year, which generates $2.5 million a year. The new tax will represent a 140% increase to $240.00 per year. The increased tax will pay for new equipment, maintenance, training and salaries, which will reduce the burden on the City General Fund and raise a total of $6.7 million a year for paramedic services.
