Voters in Lafayette turned out Tuesday in support of Measure B, a parcel tax appending an additional $176 in taxes on most properties within district boundaries — giving the measure the two-thirds margin it needed to win.
Measure B passed by a margin of 74.3 percent to 25.69 percent, with 10,048 votes cast.
The ballot measure includes a senior-citizen exemption. Any parcel owned and occupied as a principal residence by a person 65 years of age or older would be exempt from the parcel tax upon proper application to the district.
