ANTONOVICH WARNS
“CLEAN WATER” TAX FLYER MISLEADING
LOS
ANGELES COUNTY—Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich urged county residents
to check their mailboxes for the “Official Notice to Property Owners of
Public Hearing” which could result in a property tax increase.
“While the
mailing looks like junk mail, it is an important document that allows
one to protest the
proposed parcel tax,” he said.
“It is
vital that property owners return the protest form to stop this
additional tax,” he added. “Property owners, schools and businesses
already pay flood control taxes and now they are being asked to fork
over more money at a time when families are struggling, schools are
hurting and businesses are fleeing the state.”
Residents
have until January 15 to file their objection by returning their protest
form or protesting at the public hearing on January 15, 2013 at 9:30
a.m. in the Hearing Room of the Board of Supervisors at the Hall of
Administration. If a majority of the property owners do not object, the
Board of Supervisors can approve a mail-in-ballot to be sent to all
property owners in March. Passage requires only a simple majority.
Those who
misplaced this mailer, please call (800)
