A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH URGING THE CALIFORNIA
STATE LEGISLATURE TO REVIEW THE STATE PROPERTY
TAX STRUCTURE AND TO ENACT SUCH APPROPRIATE
LEGISLATION AS MAY BE DEEMED NECESSARY TO
PROVIDE PROPERTY TAX RELIEF TO HOMEOWNERS
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
finds that an inequity exists in the State tax structure as
already overburdened property owners are currently faced with
an average increase of 26% over previous property assessments;
and
Since SB 90 established property tax ceilings for local
jurisdictions, the State of California will be the greatest
beneficiary of the increase in assessed values; and
Even though some local jurisidictions plan to reduce
property tax rates , such reductions do not substantially affect
a homeowner's overall tax bill in light of the increased
assessements; and
A revision of the tax structure is the most direct and
efficient means of providing much-needed tax relief to property
owners; and
The task of bringing equity to the existing tax structure
rests squarely with the State of California,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that in furtherance of
its policy of maintaining taxes to the minimum to the citizens
of the City of Huntington Beach while providing the highest
quality of services, the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach urges all State legislators to make every effort to
review and reform the property tax structure to eliminate the
many inequities which currently exist .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council supports
and encourages legislation designed to provide immediate
property tax relief to the property owners of the City.
