2023-24 J-29 P-Annual Property Tax Summary

Dear School Business Professionals, The 2023-24 J-29 P-Annual Property Tax Summary is now posted on our website on the Year-End Close<sbasweb.sbceo.org/finance/year-end-close> page. Important notes about this Property Tax Report The items below represent significant changes from the prior reporting period P-2 to P-Annual. * Column A-6: Prior Year Revenue is greater than P-2 due to higher than anticipated Escape Assessment Levied in the later part of the fiscal year. * Column A-9: ERAF allocation projected to be higher than in P-2 due to higher than anticipated Escape Assessments levied and apportioned. * Out-of-County Taxes are only reported at P-Annual and are shown on this report for you to update your budget.
Note: Prior Year collections should be taken into consideration when developing your budget since some are one-time sources and should not be carried forward as ongoing revenues in future years. If you have any questions regarding the 2023-24 P-Annual Property Tax Report, please contact Alejandro Baeza at (805) 964-4711 x5372 or abaeza@sbceo.org<mailto:abaeza@sbceo.org>.
