SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF COUNTY TAX AMNESTY PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Refer the concept of a Tax Amnesty Program to the County Administrator
to coordinate the preparation of a report with the participation of
the Auditor-Controller, Assessor, County Counsel, and Treasurer-
Tax Collector.
BACKGROUND:
The State has recently completed a highly successful income tax
amnesty program. It has been suggested that the County review the
possibility of establishing a local property tax amnesty program. The
major benefit of such a program would be increased cash flow rather
than more new dollars to the County since property taxes are already
secured by lien on the property if not paid timely. However, there
may be possibilities to increase revenues from the unsecured roll or
through the discovery of new assessments not previously known to the
Assessor.
At the time this concept was brought to the attention of the Finance
Committee, County Counsel had not yet reviewed the legal implications
of the proposal. This step would be taken first and if the County has
any flexibility with regard to delinquencies, the affected departments
will meet to develop a recommendation about how a program could be
structured to the best benefit of the County.
