It’s that time of year again when my office undertakes its most important function of the fiscal year that lays the groundwork for the very property taxes that pay for our vital public services: The Assessment Roll; in fact, it’s a Constitutional mandate.
The Roll for 2023 has been closed as of June 30, and it reflects growth in Los Cerritos Community News cities as well as the rest of the County.
First off, let me say this comprehensive tally values more than 2.5 million real estate parcels in Los Angeles County and results in the very tax dollars that go to pay for vital public services, such as healthcare, police, fire, schools, and even librarians, to name just a few. As I mentioned, I am constitutionally mandated to close the Roll by the end of the Fiscal Year on June 30. As a reference point, my Fiscal Year runs from July 1 to June 30.
I am pleased to announce that the 2023 Assessment Roll has a total net value of $1.997 trillion, indicating the 13th year of consecutive growth. The 2023 Roll also grew by $111 billion (or 5.91%) over 2022. That value places nearly $20 billion to be used for those public services I just mentioned.
