[quote=flu]You’re missing the entire point. Where is the state going to come up with the money to build this “system”. Hello???? We’re in the red, which budget is this going to come from?

I’m not sure why you think this would be a tough system to build. The tax returns with the property tax deduction requires a parcel number. Each of the less than 60 counties in the state provide the FTB with data related to each parcel. Tie the deductible taxes to the tax return. Send out a notice when there’s a variance. Done.
Not exactly that simple, because property owners don’t always pay 2 bills a year. Sometimes 1, sometimes 3, sometimes more if they’re delinquent. But I don’t think it’s all that difficult. Just one more compliance check. It will pay for itself in the first year.
