Property Tax Apportionments for Fiscal Year 2007/2008
I am pleased to provide you this fiscal year’s plan for the distribution of property tax collections to your agency. The attached schedule of property tax apportionments will help you in your fiscal planning for the year.
Property tax apportionments are based on actual collections. However, the amount of each apportionment may be estimated by applying the percentages shown to the tax levies for your various funds. The percentages are estimates based on historical experience of tax collections and may differ from actual experience. The tax levy data will be posted to the Auditor-Controller’s website, www.ac.ocgov.com/, as soon as it is available, which is estimated to be during the fourth week of September.
Collection charges, where appropriate, will be deducted from the following apportionments: Secured, Unsecured, Prior Year Secured, Prior Year Secured Penalties, Delinquent Prior Year Unsecured, Teeter Plan Secured, and State Assessed Unitary. The Property Tax Administration Charge (PTAC) can be estimated to be approximately 1% of the secured tax levy. It will be recovered in the sixth secured apportionment.
Tax apportionment payments will be made by Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) to those agencies that use a depository other than the County Treasury. Journal voucher transfers will be made by this office crediting the funds of those agencies that use the County Treasury as their depository.
Interest earned on property tax collections prior to apportionment, is allocated and distributed to all taxing agencies based on calculations made by the County Treasurer-Tax Collector. The distribution of interest earned is anticipated to be made in two installments.
The apportionments are planned for the scheduled dates below; however, unforeseen circumstances could cause a change in distribution dates. You will be notified if there is any change in the scheduled dates.
You may contact Frank Davies at (714) 834-3015, Megan Nguyen at (714) 834-4437, or Arounsy Phommasa at (714) 834-3839 if you have any questions regarding this schedule. Please remember that this property tax apportionment schedule, the apportionment remittance advices, and the year-to-date tax ledger are all available on our website.
