Section 107.3 Of Chapter 1. Construction From California Revenue And Taxation Code >> Division 1. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 1.
107.3
. The full cash value of leasehold estates in exempt property
for the production of gas, petroleum and other hydrocarbon substances
from beneath the surface of the earth and all other taxable rights
to produce gas, petroleum and other hydrocarbon substances from
exempt property (all of which rights are hereinafter in this section
referred to as "such oil and gas interests"), is the value of such
oil and gas interests, exclusive of the value of any royalties or
other rights to share in production from exempt property owned by any
tax-exempt entity, whether receivable in money or property and
whether measured by or based upon production or income or both.
This section applies to:
(a) Such oil and gas interests created prior to the date on which
the decision in De Luz Homes, Inc. v. County of San Diego (1955) 45
Cal. 2d 546, became final to which Section 107.2 of this code does
not apply because said interests were extended or renewed on or
before July 26, 1963.
(b) Such oil and gas interests created on or after the date on
which said decision become final and on or before July 26, 1963.
This section does not, however, apply to any of such oil and gas
interests extended or renewed after July 26, 1963, unless such
extension or renewal is pursuant to authority in a contract, lease,
statute, regulation, city charter, ordinance or other source which
authority permits no reduction of the rate of royalty or other right
to share in production upon the ground of an increase in the assessed
valuation of such oil and gas interest. Moreover, this section does
not apply to any of such oil and gas interests if the rate of
royalties or other right to share in production has, prior to the
effective date of this section, been reduced to adjust for the fact
that certain assessors have valued such oil and gas interests without
excluding the value of said royalties or other rights to share in
production.
