[quote=UCGal]Sure you couldn’t legally deduct mello roos in the first place… but most folks did.
Now the state will be able to look at your itemized bill since you have to provide that info along with your parcel number.

For those of us that live in non HOA areas… it seems like it might apply to various bond measures as well.

For example – from my bill:

FIXED CHARGE ASSMTS: PHONE
CWA WTR AVAILABILITY 858-522-6900 10.00
VECTOR DISEASE CTRL 800-273-5167 6.20
MWD WTR STANDBY CHRG 866-807-6864 11.50
MOSQUITO SURVEILLANC 800-273-5167 3.00

Would probably NOT be deductible anymore.
Looking at the other bonds- which are tied to the value of the house – it appears they are not neighborhood specific, so probably still deductable.[/quote]

…Ooooooooh a total of $31 that can’t be deducted…. 🙂 You probably could inflate your charitable contributions by that amount if you wanted.

(Not directing this at you… Just I think the deductibility of a lot of things I think are miniscule for a lot of people….

Now if you happen to live in 4S or Scripps paying $400/month for Mello Ruse(sic)…Well, yah I guess you’re kinda screwed.
