§ 16082 District Tax Revenue Adjustment
This law tells the state Controller how to recalculate school district tax payments when the county holds back (impounds) tax money because the district’s property values dropped.
A school district notices that its property values fell, so the county held back some of its tax money for the 1954‑55 school year. The district asks the Controller to redo the payment amount.
The Controller looks at how much the total property value is, finds the part of the drop that is bigger than 2 % (or 0.5 % after 1981‑82), and uses that extra amount to figure out the new tax payment the district must make.
Excess Amount = (Total Assessed Valuation – Assessed Valuation) – (Percent × Total Assessed Valuation)
District’s total assessed value = $10,000,000. The value used for tax purposes = $9,800,000. The request is for a year after 1981‑82, so the percent is 0.5 %.
Result: Difference = T – A = $200,000 Percent amount = P × T = 0.005 × $10,000,000 = $50,000 Excess Amount = $200,000 – $50,000 = $150,000 The Controller will use the $150,000 excess to recalculate the district’s 40‑cent, 30‑cent, and 10‑cent tax payments.
