D. METHOD OF LEVY AND COLLECTION OF THE SPECIAL TAX
Commencing with Fiscal Year 2014-2015, the Special Tax shall be levied on all taxable
parcels as follows:
Step 1: Determine the Special Tax Requirement (as defined in Section A
above) for the fiscal year in which the Special Tax will be collected;
Step 2: Calculate the total special tax revenues that could be collected from
taxable property within CFD No. 11 based on applying the Maximum
Special Tax rates determined pursuant to Section C above to the
number of residential units on each parcel of taxable property in CFD
No. 11;
If the amount determined in Step 1 is greater than or equal to the
amount calculated it) Step 2, levy the Maximum Special Tax set forth in
Table 1 above on all parcels of taxable property in CFD No. 11;
If the amount determined in Step 1 is less than the amount calculated in
Step 2, levy the Special Tax proportionately against all parcels of
taxable property up to 100% of the Maximum Special Tax for each
subdivision as identified in Table 1, until the amount of the Special Tax
levy equals the Special Tax Requirement for that fiscal year.
The Special Tax for CFD No. 11 shall be collected in the same manner and at the same
time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that CFD No. 11 may
(under the authority of Government Code 53340), in any particular case, bill the taxes
directly to the property owner off of the County of Fresno tax roll, and the Special Taxes
will be equally subject to penalties and foreclosure if delinquent.
E. EXEMPTIONS
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special
Tax, no Special Tax shall be levied on parcels that have been conveyed to a public
agency, except as otherwise provided in City Law. In addition, no Special Tax shall be
levied on excluded parcels or parcels that are determined not to be developable lots.
