Bill > AB2277

This bill modifies how local governments receive property tax revenue, specifically concerning adjustments related to vehicle license fees. It changes the calculation of a "vehicle license fee adjustment amount" for cities that incorporated between January 1, 2004, and January 1, 2012, for the fiscal year 2016-17 and subsequent years. For these newly incorporated cities, the adjustment amount will be calculated based on changes in assessed property values, rather than the previous method which was tied to a fixed percentage of vehicle value. This change aims to ensure that these cities receive a fair share of property tax revenue that is adjusted for fluctuations in property values, and it also clarifies how these adjustments are funded by reducing allocations to educational entities. The bill also includes provisions for reimbursement to local agencies if the state mandates costs associated with these changes.
