What is a Utility Users Tax (UUT)?
The Utility Users Tax (UUT) is a tax on certain utility bills, established to provide funding for vital City services. For 40 years, residents of Vallejo have paid a UUT on gas, electricity, telecommunication and video services. Due to a recent court ruling and new federal regulations, the City of Vallejo must update and modernize only the telecommunication and video services portion of our UUT ordinance, to fully comply with current federal law. Approximately 150 California cities use UUT funds to protect and maintain local community services.
