4985.3
. (a) Notwithstanding Section 2610.5, in the case of
cancellations made to the roll pursuant to Section 1646.1, where a
taxpayer has failed to pay an amount of tax computed upon assessed
value that is the subject of a pending assessment appeal, the relief
from penalties shall apply only to the difference between the county
board's final determination of value and the value on the assessment
roll for the fiscal year covered by the application. For purposes of
this section, "county board" means either a county board of
supervisors that meets as a county board of equalization or an
assessment appeals board.
(b) The county board shall cause notice of the requirements of
this section to be mailed to each taxpayer or to be presented to each
taxpayer upon filing an application for reduction in assessment with
the county board if that taxpayer will be impacted by the penalty
provisions of this section.
(c) For any taxpayer who has paid at least 80 percent of the
amount of tax finally determined due by the county board within 60
days of mailing or presentation of the notice prescribed in
subdivision (b), the tax collector shall accept payment of the
balance of the tax due without penalties or interest.
(d) This section shall apply only to those properties upon which
an application for reduction in assessment is pending before the
county board on the effective date of the act adding this section or
those applications for reduction in assessment that are filed with
the county board after the effective date of the act adding this
section.
(e) This section shall only become operative if the board of
supervisors of a county, with the approval of the county's tax
collector and the county's auditor, adopts a resolution or ordinance
approving this section.
