RESOLUTION NO. 76R- 558
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM URGING THE CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE
TO REVIEW THE STATE PROPERTY TAX STRUCTURE AND
TO ENACT SUCH APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION AS MAY BE
DEEMED NECESSARY TO PROVIDE PROPERTY TAX RELIEF
TO HOMEOWNERS.
WHEREAS, current property assessments in the City of
Anaheim have increased greatly over previous assessments; and
WHEREAS, homeowners continue to be the individuals
most affected by such increases in assessed valuations; and
WHEREAS, the greatest beneficiary of the increase
in assessed values will be the State of California, since SB
90 established property tax ceilings for local jurisdictions;
and
WHEREAS, even though many local jurisdictions plan
to reduce property tax rates, such reductions do not substan-
tially affect a homeowner's overall tax bill in light of
increased assessments; and
WHEREAS, the task of bringing equity to the existing
tax structure rests squarely with the State Legislature; and
WHEREAS, a revision of the tax structure is the most
direct and efficient means of providing much-needed tax relief
to the overburdened taxpayer.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Anaheim City
Council finds the current tax structure to be grossly unfair
to the average homeowner.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Council
reiterates its pledge to Anaheim residents to maintain the
lowest tax rate consistent with providing high quality services.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Anaheim City Council
urges all State Legislators to make every effort to review and
reform the property tax structure to eliminate the many
inequities which currently exist.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we support and encourage
legislation designed to provide immediate property tax relief
to the beleaguered homeowner.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby
directed to send a copy of this Resolution to all area
representatives of the State Legislature; the Orange County
Board of Supervisors; the Orange County Division of the League
of California Cities; as well as the Mayors of all Orange
County cities.
