The City of South Lake Tahoe has annexed nearly 80 acres of land into the city limits.
The City says the annexation started on March 26th and became official on May 15th.
"The City has been pursuing the annexation since 2023 to ensure that the City receives tax revenue to support city services already being provided to the area such as snow removal and road maintenance."
Eighty separate parcels are located in the Upper Truckee River meadow and adjacent to the city boundary originally established with incorporation in 1965. Thirteen parcels are privately owned with the rest being owned by public agencies.
“We are excited to complete this annexation, which allows the City to receive revenue for the services we provide to those properties. It will also allow residents in those areas to vote on city issues and for city councilmembers that represent them,” said Mayor Tamara Wallace.
The City says the annexation area will also be detached from the Lake Valley Fire District and fall within the service area of the city Fire Department.
