[quote=flu]I’m basically disputing the notion that areas with MR always have higher taxes (as percentage of assessed value) to other older areas without MR.
Not necessarily the case.
AN, the MR in CarmelV, about $1850 goes to schools.
The rest is peanuts. This isn’t that much different from areas with special bond assessments to schools, except that in this case the MR is goind directly to the grade schools in the district (not necessarily remote schools or community colleges,etc)….[/quote]
I agree with your argument. I did state why I think CV MR is not that big of a deal. It’s not special to CV. I think for areas that have mostly built out infrastructure, the MR shouldn’t be that big of a deal. It’s only brand new areas like San Elijo, Del Sur, 4S, etc that it can get crazy. The reason CV doesn’t have bond for community colleges because it’s a tiny area and there probably won’t ever be a CC that gets built there. Just look at San Elijo Hills. Since it’s part of San Marcos, although it’s new and have MR, it has to pay the bond for PALOMAR COMMUNITY COLL PROP M.
