52. Special Tax Increases
In January 2004, and each January thereafter, all figures shown in Tables 1 through 15 above shall be adjusted by applying the Average Increase, if any, in the Indices. Each annual adjustment of the Maximum Special Tax shall become effective on the subsequent July 1.
In January 2006, and each January thereafter, all figures shown in Tables 16 through 51 above shall be adjusted by applying the Average Increase, if any, in the Indices.
Each annual adjustment of the Maximum Special Tax shall become effective on the subsequent July 1.
SECTION D. METHOD OF LEVY
Each Fiscal Year, the Special Tax shall be levied on all Assessor Parcels of Developed Property, separately for each Improvement Area, according to the steps outlined below.
Step 1: Determine for an Improvement Area 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 Developed Property in the Improvement Area based on application of the Maximum Special Tax rates determined pursuant to Section C above;
Step 3: If the amount determined in Step 1 is greater than or equal to the amount calculated in Step 2, levy the Maximum Special Tax on all Assessor Parcels of Developed Property in the Improvement Area;
Step 4: If the amount determined in Step 1 is less than the amount calculated in Step 2, levy the Special Tax Proportionately on each Assessor Parcel of Developed Property in the Improvement Area so the amount of the Special Tax levy equals the Special Tax Require ment for that Fiscal Year.
SECTION E. COLLECTION
Except as may be provided by the CFD or the City, and for delinquencies, the Special Taxes shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes. The Special Tax obligation applicable to an Assessor Parcel in the CFD may not be prepaid and the obligation of the Assessor Parcel to pay the Special Tax may not be permanently satisfied.
For the portion of Improvement Area #22 that was annexed into the CFD pursuant to Annexation #16, the Special Tax levy shall commence in Fiscal Year 2020-21 and for such Fiscal Year shall be based on the building permits issued by the City as of May 1, 2020.
City of Merced CFD No. 2003-2 Page 37 January 5, 2024
SECTION F. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Rate and Method, no Special Tax shall be levied on Public Property, except as otherwise provided in the Act.
No Special Tax shall be levied on the portion of an Assessor Parcel that constitutes Lower Income Household Welfare Exemption Property; provided, however, that if, in any Fiscal Year, applicable law does not require that Lower Income Household Welfare Exemption Property be exempt from some portion, or all, of the Special Tax, such portion, or all, of the Special Tax shall be levied on such property in accordance with this Rate and Method based on the type of property to which the Assessor Parcel is assigned.
SECTION G. INTERPRETATION
The Administrator may interpret this Rate and Method as necessary to clarify any inconsistency, vagueness, or ambiguity.
SECTION H. APPEALS
Appeals of any claim of incorrect computation of Special Tax or application of this Rate and Method may be made by the owner of an Assessor Parcel or such owner’s duly -authorized representative by filing a written notice of appeal with the Administrator not later than thirty (30) days after having paid the disputed Spe cial Tax. The Administrator shall promptly review the appeal and, if necessary, meet with the property owner (or representative), consider written and oral evidence regarding the amount of the Special Tax, and decide the appeal. If the property owner disagrees with the Administrator’s decision, the owner may then file a written appeal with the Council, whose decision shall be final. If the decision of the Administrator or the Council requires the Special Tax to be modified or changed in favor of the property owner, no cash refund shall be made for prior years’ Special Tax levies, but an adjustment shall be made to the next Special Tax levy(ies) as appropriate. This procedure shall be exclusive and its exhaustion by any property owner shall be a condition precedent to filing any legal action by such owner.
