How much of a portion of CA’s population influx actually pays any property taxes at all? And what is the percentage of CA’s landowner population influx since 1978 that pays market rate taxes for their parcel(s).
And even if a CA home-owning family IS paying market-rate property taxes of say $5,700 yr (no MR), are located in a municipality which offers them sidewalks, street lights and storm drains and have two kids in public school, how much do you think it costs annually for all levels of gubment to service this family?
Take a stab at it, NSR.[/quote]
BG, per CAPITA, adjusted for inflation, MORE is collected now.
The problem you highlight is that spending has grown even FASTER than inflation and population growth.
No economies of scale, no efficiencies, it’s gotten more EXPENSIVE faster than inflation and population growth.
For every person in the state we had previously, if we collected $10 in property tax, today, after factoring inflation, we collect $11 per person in the state.
