SUBJECT: Proposal on Taxing Agricultural Land
The Board on October 18, 1983, requested the County
Assessor and Director of Planning to review a proposal submitted by
Don Excell, Supervisor, Board of Supervisors of the County of
Alameda, that would remove productive agricultural lands from the tax
rolls and provide for the taxation of the products from that land in
the market place.
In a letter dated November 3, 1983, Carl S. Rush, County
Assessor , was not supportive of said proposal and noted that the
proposal does not address taxation of fallow land, under-utilized
land, or improperly utilized land; nor does it address the funding
of local government in those areas of the state where agricultural
land is the major portion of local tax revenue.
IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that receipt of the response of
the County Assessor is ACKNOWLEDGED.
