§ 14222 County School Tax Rates

This law says the county board of supervisors must set the property tax rate for the school district or community college district as soon as they get the assessor’s certificate.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board must act after the assessor’s certificate is received.
  • •The tax rate applies only to property in a school or community‑college district.
  • •The law does not tell the board how to calculate the exact rate; it just requires them to set one.

Example

The county assessor finishes the property valuation and sends the certificate to the county board. The board then meets and decides that the school district needs a 1.2% property tax rate.

Because the law tells them to act right after receiving the certificate, the board quickly picks the tax rate that will be used to fund the schools or community college.
