Property Tax Primer
13 14
March 19, 2024
8 Proposition 13 - 1978
Property Tax
allocation 1% of
assessed value
(AV) “ad valorem”
Base AV is
purchase price
AV increases
capped at 2% per
year, or CPI
whichever is lower
AV resets when
property is sold
Prop 13 Reduces
Local
Government
Revenue
State Legislature
Attempts to Fix
with SB 154 in
1978-79
State Legislature
Adjusts Allocations
and Sets Formulas for
Future Growth with AB
8 in 1979-80
AB8 Factors
15 16
March 19, 2024
9 Tax Equity Allocations “No-Low”
The AB8 distribution
factors were based
on the amounts that
agencies would
have received
before Prop 13
passed
Agencies that had
no or low property
taxes, or that did not
exist in 1978,
therefore would
have a low or no
allocation under AB8
The state tried to
correct this with a
Tax Equity Allocation
that essentially
guarantees about
7% (or 7 cents of
every dollar)

10 Redevelopment
• Community Redevelopment Act of 1945
• Designed to create improvements to
undeveloped/blighted areas
• Tax Increment Financing made possible
with Prop 18 in 1952
• Allowed for tax increment revenue from the
AV growth to be distributed to the RDAs
• Most RDAs issued bonds to finance the
development
• Up until 1994, RDAs could negotiate passthrough payments for other agencies to receive their share of the incremental
revenue
Redevelopment Dissolution
In 2011, the state passed AB1X26 which froze RDA authority and called for RDA dissolution
The law was challenged but the state law prevailed and all RDAs became Successor Agencies in 2012
The SAs are responsible for winding down RDAs, including paying all obligations
The official document that lists these obligations for all former RDAs is known as a ROPS- Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule 19 20
March 19, 2024
11 Recognized Obligation Payment Schedules (ROPS)
County
• Multiple Outstanding Bonds
• Maturity Dates for Desert Communities Project
Areas are 2037, 2040, and 2041
La Quinta
• Two Outstanding Bonds
• Maturity Dates 2034 and
2039
• Distribution from RPTTF for
fiscal 2022/23 was
$20,124,588 consisting of
debt service for the bonds
and repayment to the City for
an RDA loan.

Including Some Redevelopment Years
Fiscal
Year
Taxable Assessed
Value % Change RPTTF % Change
2019 13,351,737,881 3.76% 2,252,301 $ 12.88%
2020 13,980,319,465 4.71% 2,559,255 $ 13.63%
2021 14,359,765,558 2.71% 1,884,545 $ -26.36%
2022 15,163,622,940 5.60% 2,128,498 $ 12.94%
2023 16,667,089,894 9.91% 2,736,932 $ 28.59%
2024 18,200,952,648 9.20% $ 16.92% 3,200,000
Total Assessed Valuations as Compared to RPTTF Receipts Drop in RPTTF in 2021 is attributed to Sandoval v. Chula Vista, in which the courts gave further direction regarding how to calculate the pass-through amounts and distribute residuals; this lowered the City’s share but increased shares for services such as fire and library. *2024 is estimated

13 Final Thoughts
• Property Tax is Shared by Counties, School
Districts, Cities, and other Special Districts
• Redevelopment dissolution complicates tax
distribution/allocation
• Increases in assessed valuations = incremental
revenue that will increase RPTTF distributions
