I believe the tax code is clear enough.

Firstly, you can’t say that “…my property value has not increased and may actually decrease in the near future…therefore my MR should be tax deductible…”. It doesn’t work that way.

Secondly, public facilities (library, park, school, etc.) built using the MR money is typically intended mostly for residences of that particular community, not all San Diegans. I, living in Santee, would not send my kids to school in SEH, would not have a casual pick nick at De Sur’s park and would not be checking books from 4S Ranch’s library. These facilities are enjoyed almost exclusively by the residences of these master planned communities.

Where I live (Riverwalk of Santee), YMCA and city-owned sports park are just across the street. Nearby schools & libraries are for all residences of Santee. The community is not so far away as to needing a lot of infrastructure improvement to be connected to the city. Thus it’s one of the very few large new housing community in Santee that doesn’t have MR.

Way back in the pre-MelloRoos days developers had to kick in for some of these things. I live in University City – developers had to kick in for the Regents Road bridge (that still isn’t built due to NIMBYism.). That money is still sitting, escrowed, in the city coffers while various factions fight over it. Developers also had to kick in towards building Curie, Marcy (now gone), Standley M.S., and UCHS. It was part of getting the development approved – the developers had to kick in for infrastructure. It didn’t mean this stuff got built in a timely fashion… Standley was 5 years behind the developers promises, UCHS about 10 years behind it.

Then they came up with a way to pass that on, more directly, to the homeowner…

Are there any data out there that compiles which areas have Mello-Roos and which don’t? Ideally it would be a map with colored regions showing MR areas. My only way of getting this info right now is looking at MLS listings (some listings say whether or not there’s MR) and getting a rough idea over time which regions are MR regions. There’s gotta be an easier and more reliable way.

The MR is broken down on your bill, if you are so inclined you could break it out and deduct the stuff that doesn’t increase value on the property. This is a moot point anyway, most people just use the amount on their 1098 which is reported to the IRS by the bank.
