Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

Chapter 5.12 of Title 5 of the Mendocino County Code was adopted by this Board in 1974 (Ord. No. 1265). Chapter 5.14 of Title 5 of the Mendocino County Code was first adopted by this Board in 1978, (Ord. No. 2079), and was then repealed and amended, also in 1978 (Ord. 2098).                      

 

Summary of Request

Currently, the Assessor’s Office processes requests for reassessment based on damage to property occurring as the result of a major disaster or individual calamity or misfortune. The County’s existing codes regarding such reassessments are based on State statutes now repealed. In the most recent Assessment Practices Survey conducted by the California Board of Equalization for Mendocino County, it was recommended that Mendocino County update its damage reassessment ordinance to conform to current State law.

 

The proposed ordinance would update the Mendocino County Code to conform with current California statute. The proposed ordinance would not result in a change to the practices of the Assessor’s Office.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Do not adopt the ordinance and provide direction to staff.
