Summary
Existing property tax law requires that each county tax bill, or a statement accompanying that bill, include specified information. This bill would establish the Property Tax Transparency and Accountability Program as a pilot program which would, commencing with specified fiscal years, require participating counties to provide specified information in each county tax bill, including information that indicates what percentage of the general ad valorem property tax is allocated to each local government entity, as specified, and a comprehensive account of all the services funded by local governments, as specified. This bill would additionally require those participating counties, after the cessation of the pilot program, to provide the Legislature with a report relating to the program, as described. By imposing a new duty upon local tax officials with respect to information required to be included in each county tax bill, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
