BACKGROUND
Since 1990, the Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation District has imposed two property assessments that generate approximately $80 million in revenue annually. One of the assessments expired last year, and the second will expire on June 30, 2019. The two taxes were imposed on a flat-rate per-parcel basis, costing property owners $34 annually.
