BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Community Facilities District 2006-1 (CFD 2006-1) was established to provide funds needed to address specific public facilities and services required of the developer of the Lytle Creek North Community, a 2,326 residential subdivision called Rosena Ranch located east of Interstate 15.
On March 15, 2011 (Item No. 65), the Board of Supervisors (Board) adopted Ordinance No. 4138 levying special taxes within CFD 2006-1, Improvement Area No. 2 (CFD 2006-1 IA-2).
On July 12, 2016 (Item No. 51), the Board approved the continuing levy of special taxes within CFD 2006-1 for the 2016-2017 tax roll (Resolution No. 2016-143), which included Assessor’s Parcel Number 0239-212-51-0000 (REPAR 1116-031-51-0000). However, at that time, the special tax for this parcel did not apply because the property owner as of the January 1 lien date was a tax-exempt entity.
In July 2016, the new and current property owner acquired the property.
In August 2016, the Special Districts Department (Department) directly billed the new property owner via separate letter for the 2016-17 special taxes on the aforementioned parcel.
In April 2017, a follow up delinquency letter was sent to the owner. To date, the special taxes remain unpaid.
The Department, as administrator of community facilities districts within San Bernardino County, seeks authorization for placement of the delinquent special taxes owed to CFD 2006-1 IA-2 on the 2020-21 tax roll for collection.
In accordance with Section 53340 of the Mello-Roos Community Facility Act of 1982, the legislative body of a CFD may provide, by resolution, for the levy of the special tax.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
