[quote=bearishgurl]flu, these “fixed charge assessments” (FCA’s) are charged to every parcel in the county. For the MM condo, they are $30.36 per yr. For a typical SFR assessed at about $300K, they are about $40 to $43 per yr.
The “Voter-Approved Bonds” (VAB’s) on the MM condo come to only $225.12 per yr.

The total of FCA’s and VAB’s is $255.48. Since the condo is only assessed at ~$200K, that is 13% of the base tax. But on a typical MM SFR assessed at $350K … it’s only 7.3% of the tax … and progressively less of a percentage the higher the assessed value of the property, assuming the same amount of MR is charged to every parcel in the CFD.

Stop with the rest of the argument. Because I think there is a math problem right here in your explanation of VAB’s

VAB’s are assessed as a percentage of assessed value, not as a fixed rate. So in your quoted example, $255 is NOT going to be the assessed value for a SFH… Those charges consistently the same percentage of assessed value. Afterall, they aren’t fixed charge…..Right????
Take a look at the assessed condo in MM I listed and compare that to what AN said his assessment is for SFH. Fundamentally there is almost no difference.
1.13% for condo 1.11% for SFH…So those special bonds are applied at the same percentage to SFH or non SFH and they don’t decrease in percentage if your assessed value is larger….. right?????
I’m making this argument in response to a few arguments before in which some folks said why would one want to live in north county where it predominately has MR, when they can live in the parts of the county (insert your favorite non-north county/older city) that has no MR…What wasn’t apparent to me is those parts of the county have VAB’s where my part of the county doesn’t. So it’s a near wash in terms of taxes paid for the prices of homes that I live in now..And if I ever live in a 2+million mcmansion, it actually works out better if the property is in CarmelV versus ChulaV or MM (if you just consider the property taxes alone, assuming you could even find a home worth 2+million in ChulaV or MM) because the VAB on a 2+million assessed home in ChulaV or MM would end up being more than the fixed MR in CarmelV and CarmelV would have no VAB.
