Understanding
Supplemental Property
Taxes
By Laura Hertz, Loan Officer, CSMC Mortgage
TWhen did this tax come into effect?
he Supplemental Real Property Tax Law was signed by the Governor in July of 1983 and is part of an ambitious drive to aid California’s schools. This property tax revision is expected to produce over $300 million per year in revenue for schools.
How will Supplemental Property Taxes affect me?
If you don’t plan on buying new property or undertaking new construction, this new tax will not affect you at all. But, if you do wish to do either of the two, you will be required to pay a supplemental property tax which will become a lien against your property as of the date of ownership change or the date of completion of new construction. The supplemental bill covers the difference between the previously assessed value taxes and the newly assessed value when you purchased the home. Think of it as a catch-up bill.
When and how will I be billed?
“When” is not easy to predict. You could be billed in as few as three weeks, or it could take over six months. “When” will depend on the individual county and the workload of the County Assessor, the County Controller/Auditor, and the County Tax Collector. The assessor will appraise your property and advise you of the new supplemental assessment amount. At that time, you will have the opportunity to discuss your valuation, apply for a Homeowner’s Exemption and be informed of your right to file an Assessment Appeal. The County will then calculate the amount of the supplemental tax and the tax collector will mail you a supplemental tax bill. The supplemental tax bill will identify, among other things, the following information: the amount of the supplemental

tax and the date on which the taxes will become delinquent.
Can I pay my Supplemental Tax Bill in Installments?
All supplemental taxes on the secured roll are
payable in two equal installments. The taxes are due on the date the bill is mailed and are delinquent on specified dates depending on the month the bill is mailed as follows:
(i) If the bill is mailed within the months of July through October, the first installment shall become delinquent on December 10 of the same year. The second installment shall become delinquent on April 10 of the next year.
(ii) If the bill is mailed within the months of November through June, the first installment shall become delinquent on the last day of the month following the month in which the bill is mailed. The second installment shall become delinquent on the last day of the fourth calendar month following the date the first installment is delinquent.
How will the amount of my bill be determined?
There is a formula used to determine your tax bill. The total supplemental assessment will be prorated based on the number of months remaining until the end of the tax year, June 30.
