Section 8601 Of Chapter 5. Levying And Assessing Taxes For District Purposes From California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 4. >> Part 5. >> Chapter 5.
8601
. (a) The county assessor, in making the annual assessment of
property in each and every year after the organization of the
district, shall assess any parcel of real property with 25 or more
citrus trees on it and enter as a separate item, on the assessment
roll for each such parcel of real propety included in the district,
the value, as improvements on the parcel, of all citrus trees which
are growing on it.
(b) For the purpose of this part, the county assessor shall assess
all citrus acreage at a uniform value per acre. The assessment shall
be upon an acreage basis and the number of acres shall be determined
conclusively, except as otherwise provided in this section, by the
assessor counting the trees and dividing the total number by the
number of trees per acre of average planting. The county assessor in
counting the citrus trees shall not, however, count any more than 200
trees on any one acre of land, and for any citrus acreage which has
from 70 to 100 trees per acre the number of acres to be determined by
the county assessor shall be the actual acreage of the parcel.
(c) Upon completing the assessment roll of the county in each
year, the assessor shall separately compute and certify, to the board
of supervisors, the total assessed value, as shown by the assessment
roll, of all the citrus trees in the district.
