Chapter 1a. Secured Roll of California Revenue And Taxation Code >> Division 1. >> Part 8. >> Chapter 1a.

As used in this chapter, "taxes" includes all taxes, assessments, installments of assessments charged on the current secured roll, and payments in lieu of taxes on property belonging to the United States.

The county auditor may receive and distribute payments in lieu of taxes, other than city taxes, on property which belongs to the United States and is exempt from taxation. Unless otherwise prescribed by the agency making such payments, the amounts received shall be distributed as prescribed in this chapter.

Taxes shall be distributed to each fund on the basis of the tax rate established for the current secured roll on which they are charged and in the same proportion that the tax rate for each fund bears to the total tax rate applicable.

Amounts paid as delinquent penalties shall be distributed to the county general fund.

Amounts paid as penalties for failure to provide change-in-ownership statements shall be distributed to the county general fund. This section shall also apply to those penalties when collected from entries on the unsecured roll.

The cost charge amounts collected by the tax collector shall be distributed to a county fund for use by the tax collector in covering the cost of preparing and maintaining the delinquent list.
