More Cash for Calif. Schools, Local Govs. Thanks to Property Value Increases

California county assessors reported significant increases in the value of properties subject to locally assessed property tax, increasing property tax revenue statewide. The average increase in the assessment roll data was 5.72% in 20 counties for the 2024-2025 financial year, stated county assessors. Jeffrey Prang, Los Angeles County assessor, published a May report forecasting that the final roll will be approximately 4.75% greater than last year. The growth in the assessment roll is expected to bring in more property tax for local government, school districts, and special districts. In the past 12 years, many counties have experienced increases in property tax revenue.

California county assessors reported significant increases in the value of properties subject to locally assessed property tax, increasing property tax revenue statewide.

The average increase in the assessment roll data was 5.72% in 20 counties for the 2024-2025 financial year, stated county assessors. Jeffrey Prang, Los Angeles County assessor, published a May report forecasting that the final roll will be approximately 4.75% greater than last year.

The growth in the assessment roll is expected to bring in more property tax for local government, school districts, and special districts. In the past 12 years, many counties have experienced increases in property tax revenue.

San Diego County set a new record with an assessment value of $768 billion, stated county assessor Jordan Marks. The county’s assessment value has increased for the 12th consecutive year.

Marks highlighted that Proposition 13 caps annual increases at 2% without a change in ownership or new construction.

“Thanks to Proposition 13, no homeowner should lose their home due to unaffordable property taxes from the recent skyrocketing home prices,” said Marks.

The official deadline for assessors to complete assessment rolls was July 1, but the State Board of Equalization granted extensions to other counties. Despite the delay, it is projected that a complete assessment from each county will be available by the end of July.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
