TO: Board of Supervisors
AI FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator ;
DATE: May 1, 1989
SUBJECT: LEGISLATION: AB 1250 (Bader)
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position in SUPPORT of AB 1250 by Assemblyman Bader,which would substantially reduce the County's
costs of publishing the list of tax defaulted properties.
BACKGROUND:
Each year the Treasurer-Tax Collector is required to publish by September 8 a list of all properties on which property
taxes are in default. However, the taxes on many of these properties are paid shortly thereafter.
Assemblyman Bader has introduced AB 1250 to address this problem. AB 1250 provides that if a County mails a
,delinquent notice to the owner of the property, the publication of the tax defaulted property can be delayed until
September 8 of the year following the year in which the default occurred.
The Treasurer-Tax Collector reports that in September 1988 he published 6200 tax defaulted properties at a cost
of$18,791.60. By April 13, 1989 the taxes on 3700 of these properties had been paid,a 60%reduction. This would
have saved $11,275 in publishing costs. By the end of a full year, the Tax Collector estimates that 75% of the
properties would have been cleared. This would result in a savings of some $14,000 per year.
AB 1250 has been introduced at the request of the County of Los Angeles. The Treasurer-Tax Collector supports
AB 1250. We are therefore recommending that the Board of Supervisors also support AB 1250.
