Reduce Mellow-Roos Property Taxes
When Proposition 13 passed in 1978, it really limited the capacity of local governments to use property taxes to construct public improvements and services. Consequently, Californians had to find different ways to finance public facilities in their communities such as streets, schools, parks, etc. The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 was enacted by the State legislature, the Act enabled Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) to be established by local government agencies as a way of getting this crucial neighborhood funding.
