What’s in it
AI summary Sanitary district boards would no longer be able to set their own tax rates without permission from county supervisors. Before a tax rate is finalized, the county boards of supervisors must review and either approve, change, or reject the proposal. If a district covers more than one county, it can split its area into different sections and charge different tax rates in each one.1
Read the official explanation
Under current law, a board of trustees for a sanitary district (board of trustees) has the power to levy annual taxes by ordinance not to exceed 54 cents per $1,000 of the adjusted taxable valuation. This bill requires the board of trustees to submit the levy proposed by the board of trustees for adoption by ordinance to each county board of supervisors for the counties in which the sanitary district has territory. The bill requires the county boards of supervisors to review and approve, modify, or reject the proposed levy prior to the sanitary district adopting the levy by ordinance. The bill allows a sanitary district located in more than one county to divide property within the sanitary district into sanitary district divisions according to the county in which the property is located. The sanitary district may levy different rates in each sanitary district division. The bill applies to fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2025.
