§ 33684 Redevelopment Project Tax Increments

Key Takeaways

  • •This law is about money that cities get from taxes in special areas called 'redevelopment project areas'.
  • •The city has to share some of this tax money with schools and other local groups.
  • •The city must send reports every year showing how much money they got, how much they shared, and if they still owe money.
  • •If the city and the county don't agree on the money, they can argue about it, but they have to follow rules to solve the problem.

Example

Imagine your city has a special area where they are building new houses and shops. The city gets extra tax money from this area.

The city has to share some of this extra money with your local school. Every year, the city must send a report to the county showing how much money they got, how much they shared with the school, and if they still owe the school any money.
