California Revenue and Taxation Code § 100

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, commencing with the 1988–89 fiscal year, property tax assessed value attributable to unitary and operating nonunitary property, as defined in Sections 723 and 723.1, that is assessed by the State Board of Equalization shall be allocated by county as provided in Section 756, and the assessed value and revenues attributable to that allocation shall be allocated within each county as follows: (a) Each county shall establish one countywide tax rate area. The assessed value of all unitary and operating nonunitary property shall be assigned to this tax rate area. No other property shall be assigned to this tax rate area. (b) Property assigned to the tax rate area created by subdivision (a) shall be taxed at a rate equal to the sum of the following two rates: (1) A rate determined by dividing the county’s total ad valorem tax levies for the secured roll, including levies made pursuant to Section 96.8, for the prior year, exclusive of levies for debt service, by the county’s total ad valorem secured roll assessed value for the prior year. (2) A rate determined as follows: (A) By dividing the county’s total ad valorem tax levies for unitary and operating nonunitary property for the prior year debt service only by the county’s total unitary and operating nonunitary assessed value for the prior year. (B) Beginning with the 1989–90 fiscal year, adjusting the rate determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) by the percentage change between the two preceding fiscal years in the county’s ad valorem debt service levy for the secured roll, not including unitary and operating nonunitary debt service. (c) The property tax revenue derived from the assessed value assigned to the countywide tax rate area pursuant to subdivision (a) and pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 100.1 by the use of the tax rate determined in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) shall be allocated as follows: (1) For the 1988–89 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, each taxing jurisdiction shall be allocated an amount of property tax revenue equal to 102 percent of the amount of the aggregate property tax revenue it received from all unitary and operating nonunitary property in the prior fiscal year, exclusive of revenue attributable to qualified property under Sections 100.95 and 100.96 and levies for debt service. (2) If the amount of property tax revenue available for allocation in the current fiscal year is insufficient to make the allocations required by paragraph (1), the amount of revenue to be allocated to each taxing jurisdiction shall be prorated based on a factor determined by dividing the total amount of property tax revenue available to all taxing jurisdictions from unitary and operating nonunitary property in the current year, exclusive of revenue attributable to levies for debt service, by the total amount of property tax revenue received by all taxing jurisdictions from unitary and operating nonunitary property in the prior fiscal year, exclusive of revenue attributable to levies for debt service. (3) If the amount of property tax revenue available for allocation to all taxing jurisdictions in the current fiscal year from unitary and operating nonunitary property, exclusive of revenue attributable to qualified property under Sections 100.95 and 100.96 and levies for debt service, exceeds 102 percent of the property tax revenue received by all taxing jurisdictions from all unitary and operating nonunitary property in the prior fiscal year, exclusive of revenue attributable to qualified property under Sections 100.95 and 100.96 and levies for debt service, the amount of revenue in excess of 102 percent shall be allocated to all taxing jurisdictions in the county by a ratio determined by dividing each taxing jurisdiction’s share of the county’s total ad valorem tax levies for the secured roll for the prior year, exclusive of levies for qualified property under Sections 100.95 an
