§ 23290 County Tax Transfer Procedures

Key Takeaways

  • •When land moves from one county to another, the old county must send all tax records to the new county.
  • •The new county treats these records like they were made there from the start.
  • •The new county collects taxes using these records, just like normal.

Example

A small town moves from County A to County B because the borders changed.

County A must send all the tax papers for that town to County B. County B will use those papers to collect taxes, just like they always did for their own towns.

§ 23290 County Tax Transfer Procedures

The officers of the transferring county shall immediately execute and deliver to the board of supervisors of the accepting county, copies of all assessments or other proceedings relative to the assessment and collection of the current state and county taxes on property within the transferred territory. The copies shall be filed with the respective officers of the accepting county who would have their custody if the proceedings had been originally had in that county and shall be deemed originals. All proceedings recited in such copies shall be deemed original proceedings in the accepting county and have the same effect as if the proceedings had been had at the proper time and in the proper manner by the respective officials of that county. The officials of the accepting county shall proceed with the assessment and collection of the taxes as if the proceedings originally had in the transferring county had been originally had in the accepting county. (Added by Stats. 1974, Ch. 1393.)
