Annual Property Assessment
Balloting for the proposed property assessement ended following a public hearing on March 25. As per the certified results, the property assessment was supported by property owners with 91% of the weighted vote (91.29% Yes; 8.71% No). The assessment was adopted by the RD 1608 Board at its April 2, 2025 meeting.
The existing property assessment will expire on June 30, 2025. The new property assessment will take its place on July 1, 2025, and be reflected on fall 2025 property tax bills.
Important note: The Calculator compares your existing assessment to your proposed assessment. Due to a clerical error, the existing assessment shown on your fall 2024 tax bill is incorrect. It is lower than your correct assessment. The error is in favor of property owners and the District will not be sending amended tax bills. Your correct existing assessment is shown on the calculator, and can also be found on prior years’ tax bills.
Under CA Proposition 218 law, properties can only be assessed for the benefit they receive from RD 1608’s levee maintenance services. The benefit to properties is the avoidance of flood damages to land, structures and their contents. Each property’s assessment is unique based upon the following factors: Land use type, parcel (lot) size, structure square footage, and depth of flooding.
