Question:

Page 3 of the RFP, “Overview,” identifies the volumes of taxable properties in FresnoCounty as follows:

  • Secured Assessments: 282,452 (includes 37,272 Personal Property entries)
  • Unsecured Assessments: 15,127
  • Tax Exempt Parcels: 800
  • Utility Parcels: 500
  • Total: 298,879

By contrast, the January 31, 2011 document published by the State Board of Equalization, “A Report on Budgets, Workload and Assessment Appeals Activities in California Assessors’ Offices, 2009-10," Tables D and E which summarize the 601 Roll Units, identifies taxable properties in Fresno County as follows:

  • Secured Roll: 281.844
  • Unsecured Roll: 39,843
  • Total: 321,687

It appears the County lost 22,808 taxable accounts from 2010 to present. Is that correct? Will the County please verify the current number of accounts tracked in its existing system?

Answer:

Unsecured parcel numbers are a moving target from year to year, since properties can be merged, split, consolidated, etc. Making it difficult to give an absolute number as such, these numbers can vary fromone yearly State report to another as noted.

At this time according to the Unsecured File extract from the County’s system, the County currently has 27,284 unsecured parcels for 2011. This existing numberis perhaps the best measure of total unsecured parcel size in FresnoCounty at this time.
