Cal. Health and Safety Code - HSC § 33670. Section 33670.

Any redevelopment plan may contain a provision that taxes, if any, levied upon taxable property in a redevelopment project each year by or for the benefit of the State of California, any city, county, city and county, district, or other public corporation (hereinafter sometimes called “taxing agencies”) after the effective date of the ordinance approving the redevelopment plan, shall be divided as follows: (a) That portion of the taxes which would be produced by the rate upon which the tax is levied each year by or for each of the taxing agencies upon the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in the redevelopment project as shown upon the assessment roll used in connection with the taxation of that property by the taxing agency, last equalized prior to the effective date of the ordinance, shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid to the respective taxing agencies as taxes by or for the taxing agencies on all other property are paid (for the purpose of allocating taxes levied by or for any taxing agency or agencies which did not include the territory in a redevelopment project on the effective date of the ordinance but to which that territory has been annexed or otherwise included after that effective date, the assessment roll of the county last equalized on the effective date of the ordinance shall be used in determining the assessed valuation of the taxable property in the project on the effective date); and (b) Except as provided in subdivision (e) or in Section 33492.15, that portion of the levied taxes each year in excess of that amount shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid into a special fund of the redevelopment agency to pay the principal of and interest on loans, moneys advanced to, or indebtedness (whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise) incurred by the redevelopment agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the redevelopment project. Unless and until the total assessed valuation of the taxable property in a redevelopment project exceeds the total assessed value of the taxable property in that project as shown by the last equalized assessment roll referred to in subdivision (a), all of the taxes levied and collected upon the taxable property in the redevelopment project shall be paid to the respective taxing agencies. When the loans, advances, and indebtedness, if any, and interest thereon, have been paid, all moneys thereafter received from taxes upon the taxable property in the redevelopment project shall be paid to the respective taxing agencies as taxes on all other property are paid. (c) In any redevelopment project in which taxes have been divided pursuant to this section prior to 1968, located within any county with total assessed valuation subject to general property taxes for the 1967–68 fiscal year between two billion dollars ($2,000,000,000) and two billion one hundred million dollars ($2,100,000,000), if the total assessed valuation of taxable property within the redevelopment project for the 1967–68 fiscal year was reduced, the total sum of the assessed value of taxable property used as the basis for apportionment of taxes under subdivision (a) shall be reduced by 10 percent for the 1968–69 fiscal year and fiscal years thereafter. (d) For the purposes of this section, taxes shall not include taxes from the supplemental assessment roll levied pursuant to Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 75) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code for the 1983–84 fiscal year. (e) That portion of the taxes in excess of the amount identified in subdivision (a) which are attributable to a tax rate levied by a taxing agency for the purpose of producing revenues in an amount sufficient to make annual repayments of the principal of, and the interest on, any bonded indebtedness for the acquisition or improvement of real property shall be allocated to, and when collected shall be paid into, the fund of that taxing agency. This subdivision shall only apply to taxes levied to repay bonded indebtedness approved by the voters of the taxing agency on or after January 1, 1989.

Cal. Health and Safety Code - HSC § 33670.5. Section 33670.5.

Section 33670 fulfills the intent of Section 16 of Article XVI of the Constitution. To further carry out the intent of Section 16 of Article XVI of the Constitution, whenever that provision requires the allocation of money between agencies such allocation shall be consistent with the intent of the people when they approved Section 16 of Article XVI of the Constitution. Whenever money is allocated between agencies by means of a comparison of assessed values for different years, that comparison shall be based on the same assessment ratio. When there are different assessment ratios for the years compared, the assessed value shall be changed so that it is based on the same assessment ratio for the years so compared.

Cal. Health and Safety Code - HSC § 33670.8. Section 33670.8.

(a) With respect to the allocation of taxes pursuant to Section 33670 in redevelopment project areas within the incorporated City of Santa Cruz, which were already approved on October 17, 1989, the otherwise applicable provisions of this part shall be modified as specified in this subdivision. For the purpose of determining the portion of taxes to be paid annually to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Santa Cruz pursuant to Sections 33328, 33670, and 33675 for any redevelopment project which was approved on or before October 17, 1989, “assessment roll ... last equalized” and “base-year assessment roll” mean the last equalized assessment roll determined pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670 reduced by the same amount as the amount of reduction in the current assessment roll determined pursuant to Section 170 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. (b) With respect to the allocation of taxes pursuant to Section 33670 in redevelopment project areas within the incorporated City of Watsonville, which were already approved on October 17, 1989, the otherwise applicable provisions of this part shall be modified as specified in this subdivision. For the purpose of determining the portion of taxes to be paid annually to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Watsonville pursuant to Sections 33328, 33670, and 33675 for any redevelopment project which was approved on or before October 17, 1989, “assessment roll ... last equalized” and “base-year assessment roll” mean the last equalized assessment roll determined pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670 reduced by the same amount as the amount of reduction in the current assessment roll determined pursuant to Section 170 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. (c) In claiming an allocation of taxes pursuant to Section 33675, as adjusted pursuant to subdivision (b), the redevelopment agency of the City of Watsonville shall consider the economic impact of the allocation on other agencies which have sustained substantial disaster damage and shall negotiate and enter into an agreement with the County of Santa Cruz to avoid further economic hardship. (d) Within 30 days after receipt of a notice from the Assessor of the County of Santa Cruz establishing the adjustment in the assessment roll pursuant to subdivision (b), the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Watsonville may elect not to be subject to this section by giving written notice of its decision to the County of Santa Cruz. Notwithstanding an election by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Watsonville not to be subject to this section pursuant to this subdivision, it shall still reimburse the County of Santa Cruz for its cost of revising the property tax assessment rolls and allocations. (e) Subdivisions (a) and (b) shall apply to allocation of taxes levied on the 1990 and subsequent equalized assessment rolls, upon the request of the redevelopment agencies of the Cities of Santa Cruz and Watsonville, and those agencies shall reimburse the County of Santa Cruz for its cost of revising the property tax assessment rolls and allocations. (f) (1) The county auditor shall certify to the director of finance of each city which includes a redevelopment project subject to this section when the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in each redevelopment project subject to this section as shown upon each current year’s equalized assessment roll becomes equal to the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in each redevelopment project as shown upon the assessment roll last equalized before October 17, 1989, adjusted by the change in the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco/Oakland Metropolitan Area between 1989 and the date of the certification pursuant to this subdivision. On the July 1 following the date of certification and each July 1 thereafter, the county auditor shall increase the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in each redevelopment project as shown upon the assessment roll adjusted pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) by 10 percent of the difference between the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in each redevelopment project determined pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670 and the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in each redevelopment project as adjusted pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b), until the two total assessed values are equal, and shall report this adjusted value to the other county officials charged with the responsibility of allocating taxes pursuant to Sections 33670 and 33675, who shall use this assessed value in determining the portion of taxes to be paid annually to the redevelopment agency subject to this section. (2) For purposes of this subdivision only, in the event that any redevelopment project area within the incorporated area of the City of Santa Cruz already approved on October 17, 1989, is amended to add territory to the project area, the assessed value of taxable property in the territory added shall be computed separately and the county assessor shall not take the assessed value into account in determining when the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in the redevelopment project becomes equal to the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property as shown on the assessment roll last equalized prior to October 17, 1989, as adjusted pursuant to this subdivision. (g) With respect to an area added to a redevelopment project by the City of Santa Cruz or the City of Watsonville pursuant to Sections 33458.5 and 33477, the terms “assessment roll” and “last equalized assessment roll” as used in Section 33670 shall mean and refer to the assessment roll as reduced in accordance with the provisions of subdivision (b) of Section 170 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

The Orange County Development Agency shall not incur any obligation with respect to loans, advances of money, or indebtedness, whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise, that would impair its ability to make the foregoing transfers or that would cause the foregoing transfers to violate Section 16 of Article XVI of the California Constitution or subdivision (b) of Section 33670. Funds allocated to low- and moderate-income housing pursuant to Section 33334.2 shall not be used for purposes of this section.

In no event shall available revenues include funds in the agency’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund established pursuant to Section 33334.3. For the purposes of determining available revenues as of the end of the 1992–93 fiscal year, an agency shall conduct an examination or audit of its books and records for the 1990–91, 1991–92, and 1992–93 fiscal years to determine the available revenues as of the end of the 1992–93 fiscal year.

For the purposes of this section, no loan, advance, or indebtedness that an agency intends to pay from its Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund established pursuant to Section 33334.3 shall be listed on a statement of indebtedness or reconciliation statement as a loan, advance, or indebtedness of the agency. For the purposes of this section, any statutorily authorized deficit in or borrowing from an agency’s Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund established pursuant to Section 33334.3 shall constitute an indebtedness of the agency. (g) The county auditor or officer shall, at the same time or times as the payment of taxes into the funds of the respective taxing entities of the county, allocate and pay the portion of taxes provided by subdivision (b) of Section 33670 to each agency. The amount allocated and paid shall not exceed the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) minus the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (D) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c). (h) (1) The statement of indebtedness constitutes prima facie evidence of the loans, advances, or indebtedness of the agency. (2) (A) If the county auditor or other officer disputes the amount of loans, advances, or indebtedness as shown on the statement of indebtedness, the county auditor or other officer shall, within 30 days after receipt of the statement, give written notice to the agency thereof. (B) The agency shall, within 30 days after receipt of notice pursuant to subparagraph (A), submit any further information it deems appropriate to substantiate the amount of any loans, advances, or indebtedness which has been disputed. If the county auditor or other officer still disputes the amount of loans, advances, or indebtedness, final written notice of that dispute shall be given to the agency, and the amount disputed may be withheld from allocation and payment to the agency as otherwise required by subdivision (g). In that event, the auditor or other officer shall bring an action in the superior court in declaratory relief to determine the matter not later than 90 days after the date of the final notice. (3) In any court action brought pursuant to this section, the issue shall involve only the amount of loans, advances, or indebtedness, and not the validity of any contract or debt instrument or any expenditures pursuant thereto. Payments to a trustee under a bond resolution or indenture of any kind or payments to a public agency in connection with payments by that public agency pursuant to a lease or bond issue shall not be disputed in any action under this section. The matter shall be set for trial at the earliest possible date and shall take precedence over all other cases except older matters of the same character. Unless an action is brought within the time provided for herein, the auditor or other officer shall allocate and pay the amount shown on the statement of indebtedness as provided in subdivision (g). (i) Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit a challenge to or attack on matters precluded from challenge or attack by reason of Sections 33500 and 33501. However, nothing in this section shall be construed to deny a remedy against the agency otherwise provided by law. (j) The Controller shall prescribe a uniform form of statement of indebtedness and reconciliation statement. These forms shall be consistent with this section. In preparing these forms, the Controller shall obtain the input of county auditors, redevelopment agencies, and organizations of county auditors and redevelopment agencies. (k) For the purposes of this section, a fiscal year shall be a year that begins on July 1 and ends the following June 30.

Cal. Health and Safety Code - HSC § 33676. Section 33676.

(a) Prior to the adoption by the legislative body of a redevelopment plan providing for tax increment financing pursuant to Section 33670, any affected taxing agency may elect to be allocated, and every school district and community college district shall be allocated, in addition to the portion of taxes allocated to the affected taxing agency pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670, all or any portion of the tax revenues allocated to the agency pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 33670 attributable to one or more of the following: (1) Increases in the rate of tax imposed for the benefit of the taxing agency which levy occurs after the tax year in which the ordinance adopting the redevelopment plan becomes effective. (2) If an agency pursuant to Section 33354.5 amends a redevelopment plan which does not utilize tax increment financing to add tax increment financing, and pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670 uses the assessment roll last equalized prior to the effective date of the ordinance originally adopting the redevelopment plan, an affected taxing agency may elect to be allocated all or any portion of the tax revenues allocated to the agency pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 33670 which the affected taxing agency would receive if the agency were to use the assessment roll last equalized prior to the effective date of the ordinance amending the redevelopment plan to add tax increment financing. (b) (1) Any local education agency that is a basic aid district or office at the time the ordinance adopting a redevelopment plan is adopted and that receives no state funding, other than that provided pursuant to Section 6 of Article IX of the California Constitution, pursuant to Section 2558, 42238, or 84751, as appropriate, of the Education Code, shall receive annually its percentage share of the property taxes from the project area allocated among all of the affected taxing entities during the fiscal year the funds are allocated, increased by an amount equal to the lesser of the following: (A) The percentage growth in assessed value that occurs throughout the district, excluding the portion of the district within the redevelopment project area. (B) Eighty percent of the growth in assessed value that occurs within the portion of the district within the redevelopment project area. (2) Subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1) shall not apply to a redevelopment plan adopted by the legislative body of a community if both of the following occur: (A) The median household income in the community in which the redevelopment project area is located is less than 80 percent of the median household income in the county in which the redevelopment project area is located. (B) The preliminary plan for the redevelopment plan was adopted on or before September 1, 1993, and the redevelopment plan was adopted on or before August 1, 1994. (3) Any local education agency that is a basic aid district or office at the time the ordinance amending a redevelopment plan is adopted pursuant to Section 33607.7 and that receives no state funding, other than that provided pursuant to Section 6 of Article IX of the California Constitution, pursuant to Section 2558, 42238, or 84751, as appropriate, of the Education Code, shall receive either of the following: (A) If an agreement exists that requires payments to the basic aid district, the amount required to be paid by an agreement between the agency and the basic aid district entered into prior to January 1, 1994. (B) If an agreement does not exist, the percentage share of the increase in property taxes from the project area allocated among all of the affected taxing entities during the fiscal year the funds in the project area are allocated, derived from 80 percent of the growth in assessed value that occurs within the portion of the district within the redevelopment project area from the year in which the amendment takes effect pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 33607.7. (4) The redevelopment agency shall subtract from any payments made pursuant to this section the amount that a basic aid district receives pursuant to Sections 33607.5 and 33607.7 for the purposes of either paragraph (1) of subdivision (h) of Section 42238 of the Education Code or either Section 2558 or 84751 of the Education Code. (c) The governing body of any affected taxing agency, other than a school district and a community college district, electing to receive allocation of taxes pursuant to this section in addition to taxes allocated to it pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670 shall adopt a resolution to that effect and transmit the same, prior to the adoption of the redevelopment plan, to (1) the legislative body, (2) the agency, and (3) the official or officials performing the functions of levying and collecting taxes for the affected taxing agency. Upon receipt by the official or officials of the resolution, allocation of taxes pursuant to this section to the affected taxing agency which has elected to receive the allocation pursuant to this section by the adoption of the resolution and allocation of taxes pursuant to this section to every school district and community college district shall be made at the time or times allocations are made pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670. (d) An affected taxing agency, at any time after the adoption of the resolution, may elect not to receive all or any portion of the additional allocation of taxes pursuant to this section by rescinding the resolution or by amending the same, as the case may be, and giving notice thereof to the legislative body, the agency, and the official or officials performing the functions of levying and collecting taxes for the affected taxing agency. After receipt of a notice by the official or officials that an affected taxing agency has elected not to receive all or a portion of the additional allocation of taxes by rescission or amendment of the resolution, any allocation of taxes to the affected taxing agency required to be made pursuant to this section shall not thereafter be made but shall be allocated to the agency and the affected taxing agency shall thereafter be allocated only the portion of taxes provided for in subdivision (a) of Section 33670. After receipt of a notice by the official or officials that an affected taxing agency has elected to receive additional tax revenues attributable to only a portion of the increases in the rate of tax, only that portion of the tax revenues shall thereafter be allocated to the affected taxing agency in addition to the portion of taxes allocated pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33670, and the remaining portion thereof shall be allocated to the agency. (e) As used in this section, “affected taxing agency” means and includes every public agency for the benefit of which a tax is levied upon property in the project area, whether levied by the public agency or on its behalf by another public agency. (f) This section shall apply only to redevelopment projects for which a final redevelopment plan is adopted pursuant to Article 5 (commencing with Section 33360) of Chapter 4 on or after January 1, 1977.

Cal. Health and Safety Code - HSC § 33677. Section 33677.

The amount of taxes allocated to the redevelopment agency pursuant to Section 33670 shall be separately computed for each constituent project area merged into a single project area pursuant to Section 33460, and for the original project area and each separate addition of land to the project area made by amendment of the redevelopment plan pursuant to Section 33450. The section is declaratory of existing law with respect to amendments to redevelopment plans.

Cal. Health and Safety Code - HSC § 33677.5. Section 33677.5.
