VALID PROP 8 REDUCTION • If the market value of property as of January 1st (lien date) is determined to be lower than the factored Prop. 13 value (usually the purchase price factored by 2% per year) the assessed value will be lowered to the market value. • The lower adjusted value will be reflected on that year’s annual tax bill, which is mailed by the Tax Collector in September. • IMPORTANT: A Prop 8 reduction is a temporary reduction and does not change your base year value.
Proposition 8 Reductions • Huge wave of Prop. 8 reductions impacting 2009-10. • Estimated at over $250 billion state-wide. • Hardest hit counties saw 7%-12% AV reduction. • Merced 15.9%, Riverside 11.9%, Solano 11.4%, San Joaquin 10.9%, San Bernardino 9.4%, Yuba 8.6% • All communities not created equal. • Expect 2010-11 Prop. 8 reductions to be less severe. • While reviewed annually-reinstatements will take time.

The little understood elements of Property Tax Apportionment (AB-8) • Shared (pooled) Revenue Sources-General Fund • Supplemental Revenues • Assessment Appeal - Tax Payer Refunds • Roll Corrections between tax years • Redemption allocations in Non-Teeter Cities
What to consider as you budget property tax revenues in this real estate Property Tax Issues to consider as you Prepare your Agency’s Budget • CPI for 2010-11 has been set at a negative .237%. Properties that have not already been reduced per Prop. 8 will receive a reduction. • With a continued decline in SFR sales prices, year over year, Proposition 8 reductions are still likely in 2010-11 in some jurisdictions. • Commercial and Industrial appeals have started to be filed, reductions will lag 1-2 yrs. • The VLF in Lieu allocation is tied to year over year assessed value change. This will be lower in 2010-11 for most cities.
LOOKING FORWARD TO 2012-13 • For many agencies, property tax receipts will be lower in 2010-11 than those received in 2009-10. • While economists are suggesting that the economic recovery has begun, it won’t be fast enough to impact property values and the related taxes for 2010-11. • The next year of measurable property tax growth for most cities will be 2012-13.

Questions to Ask • When were my project areas adopted? • How much new development occurred during the development “boom”? • What is the mix of commercial, residential, etc…? • What is the current vacancy rate for commercial, industrial uses? • How much vacant land is in the RDA?
Recovery ain’t what it used to be! • Recovery will vary significantly by region. • Prop. 8 reductions will continue to have a negative impact on revenues. • Commercial property appeals will increase and value reductions will occur through 2011-12. • Impact on VLFAA - property tax in-lieu of VLF. • Many economists do not expect property values to fully recover until 2014.
