AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY MARCH 24, 2014
INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Daly
FEBRUARY 20, 2014
An act to amend Section 15616 of the Government Code, relating to
parcel taxes.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2109, as amended, Daly. Parcel taxes: reports.
Existing law requires the State Board of Equalization to annually
report to the Governor the assessed value of a
state-assessed and locally assessed real and personal property in
each county, as specified, information concerning other taxes that
the board administers, and any further information and suggestions as
the board deems proper.
This bill would additionally require the board to annually report
specified information relating to the imposition of locally assessed
parcel taxes, including, among other things, the type and rate of a
parcel tax and the number of parcels subject to or exempt from the
parcel tax. The bill would additionally require the tax
collector auditor of each county to provide any
information to the board required by the board to comply with these
provisions, as specified. By imposing new duties on local officials,
this bill would impose 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.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
