§ 33835 Assessment Of Redevelopment Benefits

Key Takeaways

  • •The government must check if the properties that will be charged extra money actually get special benefits from the improvements.
  • •They must make sure the extra charges are fair and match the benefits each property gets.
  • •If there are homes in the area, they need to note that.
  • •They have to calculate how much money the area was expected to get in taxes way back in 1977-78, using the tax rules from that time.

Example

Imagine your neighborhood is getting new sidewalks and streetlights. The city wants to charge homeowners extra money for these improvements.

The city must first prove that your house really benefits from the new sidewalks and streetlights. They also have to make sure the extra charge is fair based on how much your property benefits. If there are houses in the area, they have to mention that. Plus, they need to figure out how much tax money the area was supposed to get back in 1977-78 using old tax rules.

§ 33835 Assessment Of Redevelopment Benefits

Prior to final action on the report, the legislative body shall find and determine, based on evidence submitted at the public hearing, (a) whether the properties proposed to be assessed are specially benefited by the redevelopment activities described in Section 33814, and are capable of bearing the burden of the proposed assessment, (b) whether the assessments have been apportioned in proportion to such benefits, (c) whether property within the assessment area contains residential dwelling units, and (d) for each fiscal year in which the special assessment is proposed to be levied, the amount of taxes which was projected to be available for allocation to the agency pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 33670, based on the actual tax rates in effect for the 1977–78 fiscal year and on the projected assessed values under the applicable laws in effect for the 1977–78 fiscal year, with respect to its indebtedness incurred prior to July 1, 1978.
