The big picture
The measure asks residents in Fallbrook’s Pala Mesa Zone A community to consider a special tax that would provide more long-term funding to maintain legacy private roads in the county’s Permanent Road Division program. Current funding isn’t close to supporting needed repairs and ongoing upkeep, according to a county report. The special tax replaces an existing assessment, and would be adjustable based on regional building costs. The measure needs two-third support to pass.
What a 'Yes' means
Replaces an existing assessment with a new, larger special tax to pay for road upkeep.
What a 'No' means
Maintains an existing assessment and does not collect extra funding for road upkeep.
Ballot language
