Distribution of Property Taxes

Where Does Your Property Tax Dollar Go?
Distribution of The 2008-09 Property Tax Dollar
Total Prop 13 Tax Levy: $690.6 Million*
Distribution of Property Taxes 2008 - 2009d

*Distribution amounts have been adjusted based on Revenue & Taxation Code Section 97.70, which reduces property taxes shifted from counties and cities to schools under Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) legislation in the 1990's. This reduction in ERAF shifted property taxes is equal to the 2005/06 California State Budget reduction in Vehicle License Fee revenues, adjusted for growth. These changes did not increase or decrease the total revenues to counties, cities or schools from the combined revenue sources.
