[quote=SK in CV][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.[/quote]
Technically it’s never tough. Logistically, to do something across 60 counties in such a short period of time is the tough. It’s not the actual work to push the data, it’s everything else you need around it. Security, scalability, reliability,etc,etc,etc..Not to mention agreement across 60 counties on the protocol, a good part is just on how this data is going to be represented.Then also there’s the logistics of who does what and who pays what at the county and state level.
Also, do the counties have the resources to do this, being that they are in red too?
