How does this Tax effect Homeowners?
Supplemental Property Taxes only effect individuals who are buying property or initiating new construction. After the purchase or new construction is complete, the new owner will receive a bill for supplemental property taxes, which will become a lien against the property as of the date of ownership changes or upon the date of completion of new construction.
When and how are bills generated?
It is not easy to predict when the new property owner will be billed. It could be as soon as 3 weeks after escrow closes or new construction is complete. It also could take 6 months or more depending on the county the property is located and work loads of the assessors office, Controller and Tax collector. The Assessor will appraise the property and advise the owner of the supplemental assessment amount. The owner has the option to discuss the valuation, apply for a homeowners exemption and be informed about there right to file an assessment appeal. The Assessor then will calculate the amount of the supplemental tax bill to the property owner. This will include the amount owed, due date and if not paid, the delinquent date.
How will the amount of the bill be determined?
There is a formula used to determine the tax bill. The total Supplemental assessment will be prorated based on the number of months remaining until June 30. The supplemental tax becomes effective on the first day of the month following the month in which the change of ownership took place or new construction was completed. If it takes place July, 1 then there will be no supplemental assessment of the current tax roll and the entire supplement assessment will be made to the tax roll being prepared.
Can the Supplemental Tax Bill be paid in installments?
