Commencing with Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the Special Tax shall be levied on all taxable parcels as follows:

Step 1: Determine the Special Tax Requirement (as defined in Section A above) for the fiscal year in which the Special Tax will be collected;

Step 2: Calculate the total special tax revenues that could be collected from taxable property within CFD No. 11 based on applying the Maximum Special Tax rates determined pursuant to Section C above to the number of residential units on each parcel of taxable property in CFD No. 11;

If the amount determined in Step 1 is greater than or equal to the amount calculated in Step 2, levy the Maximum Special Tax set forth in Table 1 above on all parcels of taxable property in CFD No. 11;

If the amount determined in Step 1 is less than the amount calculated in Step 2, levy the Special Tax proportionately against all parcels of taxable property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each subdivision as identified in Table 1, until the amount of the Special Tax levy equals the Special Tax Requirement for that fiscal year.

The Special Tax for CFD No. 11 shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 11 may (under the authority of Government Code 53340), in any particular case, bill the taxes directly to the property owner off of the County of Fresno tax roll, and the Special Taxes will be equally subject to penalties and foreclosure if delinquent.
