53340. (a) After a community facilities district has been created
and authorized to levy specified special taxes pursuant to Article 2
(commencing with Section 53318), Article 3 (commencing with Section
53330), or Article 3.5 (commencing with Section 53339), the
legislative body may, by ordinance, levy the special taxes at the
rate and apportion them in the manner specified in the resolution
adopted pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 53318),
Article 3 (commencing with Section 53330), or Article 3.5 (commencing
with Section 53339).
(b) The legislative body may provide, by resolution, for the levy
of the special tax in the current tax year or future tax years at the
same rate or at a lower rate than the rate provided by the
ordinance, if the resolution is adopted and a certified list of all
parcels subject to the special tax levy including the amount of the
tax to be levied on each parcel for the applicable tax year, is filed
by the clerk or other official designated by the legislative body
with the county auditor on or before the 10th day of August of that
tax year. The clerk or other official designated by the legislative
body may file the certified list after the 10th of August but not
later than the 21st of August if the clerk or other official obtains
prior written consent of the county auditor.
(c) Properties or entities of the state, federal, or local
governments shall, except for properties that a local agency is a
landowner of within the meaning of subdivision (f) of Section 53317,
or except as otherwise provided in Section 53317.3, be exempt from
the special tax. No other properties or entities are exempt from the
special tax unless the properties or entities are expressly exempted
in the resolution of formation to establish a district adopted
pursuant to Section 53325.1 or in a resolution of consideration to
levy a new special tax or special taxes or to alter the rate or
method of apportionment of an existing special tax as provided in
Section 53334.
(d) The proceeds of any special tax may only be used to pay, in
whole or part, the cost of providing public facilities, services, and
incidental expenses pursuant to this chapter.
(e) The special tax shall be collected in the same manner as
ordinary ad valorem property taxes are collected and shall be subject
to the same penalties and the same procedure, sale, and lien
priority in case of delinquency as is provided for ad valorem taxes,
unless another procedure has been authorized in the resolution of
formation establishing the district and adopted by the legislative
body.
(f) (1) Notwithstanding subdivision (e), the legislative body of
the district may waive all or any specified portion of the
delinquency penalties and redemption penalties if it makes all of the
following determinations:
(A) The waivers shall apply only to parcels delinquent at the time
of the determination.
(B) The waivers shall be available only with respect to parcels
for which all past due and currently due special taxes and all other
costs due are paid in full within a limited period of time specified
in the determination.
(C) The waivers shall be available only with respect to parcels
sold or otherwise transferred to new owners unrelated to the owner
responsible for the delinquency.
(D) The waivers are in the best interest of the debtholders.
(2) The charges with penalties to be waived shall be removed from
the tax roll pursuant to Section 53356.2 and local administrative
procedures, and any distributions made to the district prior to
collection pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 4701) of
Part 8 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code shall be repaid
by the district prior to granting the waiver.
(g) The tax collector may collect the special tax at intervals as
specified in the resolution of formation, including intervals
different from the intervals determining when the ordinary ad valorem
property taxes are collected. The tax collector may deduct the
reasonable administrative costs incurred in collecting the special
tax.
(h) All special taxes levied by a community facilities district
shall be secured by the lien imposed pursuant to Section 3115.5 of
the Streets and Highways Code. This lien shall be a continuing lien
and shall secure each levy of special taxes. The lien of the special
tax shall continue in force and effect until the special tax
obligation is prepaid, permanently satisfied, and canceled in
accordance with Section 53344 or until the special tax ceases to be
levied by the legislative body in the manner provided in Section
53330.5. If any portion of a parcel is encumbered by a lien pursuant
to this chapter, the entirety of the parcel shall be encumbered by
that lien.
53340.1. (a) If a public agency owning property, including property
held in trust for any beneficiary, which is exempt from a special
tax pursuant to Section 53340 grants a leasehold or other possessory
interest in the property to a nonexempt person or entity, the special
tax shall, notwithstanding Section 53340, be levied on the leasehold
or possessory interest and shall be payable by the owner of the
leasehold or possessory interest.
(b) When entering into a lease or other written contract creating
a possessory interest that may be subject to taxation, pursuant to
subdivision (a), the public agency shall include, or cause to be
included, in the contract a statement that the property interest may
be subject to special taxation pursuant to this chapter, and that the
party in whom the possessory interest is vested may be subject to
the payment of special taxes levied on the interest. Failure to
comply with the requirements of this section shall not, however,
invalidate the contract.
The requirement of this subdivision shall not apply to leases
entered into prior to January 1, 1988.
(c) If the special tax on any possessory interest levied pursuant
to subdivision (a) is unpaid when due, the tax collector may use
those collection procedures which are available for the collection of
assessments on the unsecured roll.
53340.2. (a) The legislative body levying the special tax shall
designate an office, department, or bureau of the local agency that
shall be responsible for annually preparing the current roll of
special tax levy obligations by assessor's parcel number on nonexempt
property within the district and that will be responsible for
estimating future special tax levies. The designated office,
department, or bureau shall be the same office, department, or bureau
that prepares the "NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT" required by Section 53754.
If notice is required under both this section and Section 53754, the
notices shall, to the extent feasible, be combined into a single
notice document. The designated office, department, or bureau shall
establish procedures to promptly respond to inquiries concerning
current and future estimated tax liability. Neither the designated
office, department, or bureau, nor the legislative body, shall be
liable if any estimate of future tax liability is inaccurate, nor for
any failure of any seller to request a Notice of Special Tax or to
provide the notice to a buyer.
(b) For purposes of enabling sellers of real property subject to
the levy of special taxes to satisfy the notice requirements of
Section 1102.6b of the Civil Code, the designated office, department,
or bureau shall furnish a Notice of Special Tax to any individual
requesting the notice or any owner of property subject to a special
tax levied by the local agency within five working days of receiving
a request for the notice. The local agency may charge a fee for this
service not to exceed fifteen dollars ($15).
(c) The notice shall contain the heading "NOTICE OF SPECIAL TAX"
in type no smaller than 8-point type, and shall be in substantially
the following form. The form may be modified as needed to clearly and
accurately describe the tax structure and other characteristics of
districts created before January 1, 1993, or to clearly and
accurately consolidate information about the tax structure and other
characteristics of two or more districts that levy or are authorized
to levy special taxes with respect to the lot, parcel, or unit, or to
clearly and accurately describe a tax rate that will change with a
change in use of the parcel, or to clearly and accurately describe a
tax that will be levied only once. The notice shall be completed by
the designated office, department, or bureau except for the
signatures and date of signing:

prepayment penalties as prescribed in the bond indenture or
comparable instrument or document, to tender to the district
treasurer in full payment or part payment of any installment of the
special taxes or the interest or penalties thereon which may be due
or delinquent, but for which a bill has been received, any bond or
other obligation secured thereby, the bond or other obligation to be
taken at par and credit to be given for the accrued interest shown
thereby computed to the date of tender. The district treasurer shall
thereupon cancel the bond debt and shall cause proper credit therefor
to be entered on the records of the district and in the office of
the auditor and tax collector. If the legislative body agrees to
allow bond tenders pursuant to this section or to Section 53356.8,
the legislative body may, at its discretion, agree to distribute or
direct its trustee or other agent to distribute by any means an offer
to purchase bonds or other related inquiry to the holders of the
bonds of the district, at the expense of the person requesting the
mailing. Neither the legislative body, nor any of its officers,
agents, or trustees shall be liable in any way for that distribution.
(b) The provisions of this subdivision apply to any tender of

result of a foreclosure judgment and the minimum price required to be
paid for the lot or parcel was not received.

by offering circular, memoranda, tender, or solicitation, or any
other document or written, oral, or electronic communication for the

dollars ($1,000) in bonds being offered by the tendering party.

representative of the tendering party, is a property owner within the
district that issued the bonds.

use the bonds for payment of special taxes or the purchase of
property at a foreclosure sale pursuant to this section or Section
53356.8. This statement of present intentions shall not be construed
to be binding on the tendering party.
(viii) The status of the bond redemption fund, construction fund,
reserve fund, and any other funds of the district, and the special
tax delinquency rate of the district, all of which data shall be the
most recent available from the district and, in any event, shall
apply to the state of the funds after the most recent payment of
principal and interest on the bonds. The district shall provide the
necessary data to the property owner within 10 days of receiving a
written request and may charge a reasonable fee not to exceed its
actual costs of providing the data. The district shall simultaneously
release the same information to the general public. The property
shall also provide the percentage of the delinquency attributable to
the tendering party or any person affiliated with or related to the
tendering party, or any employee, agent, or representative of the
tendering party, for each of the three most recent fiscal years.
(ix) If the tendering party owns or leases property in the
district that issued the bonds, the development plans for that
property and an update on the current status of development of that
property and of any zoning, planning, or other permits or approvals

(x) Any other material information available to the tendering
party and not generally available to the public that would
significantly affect the market value of the bonds of the district.

notifying the legislative body pursuant to subparagraph (C).
(3) The tendering property owner provides the legislative body
with a negative assurance from counsel representing the property
owner that no misleading or other information has come to the opining
party's attention after reasonable investigation, that would lead
the party providing the negative assurance to believe that the tender
was in violation of federal or state securities laws.
(4) The tendering property owner delivers to the legislative body
of the district that issued the bonds subject to the tender, a
certificate to the effect that the tender information is accurate in
all material respects and does not omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements included in the tender
information not misleading, except that the certificate need not
provide any assurances as to the accuracy of the information as to
the bond fund balances and tax payment information provided by the
district.
(c) The provisions of this subdivision apply to any tender of
bonds pursuant to this section by any owner of property within the
district who is not delinquent in paying special taxes on any
property within the district. A person subject to this subdivision
shall be deemed to be a person whose relationship to the issuer may
give him or her access, directly or indirectly, to material
information about the issuer not generally available to the public,
and the provisions of Section 25402 of the Corporations Code apply to
any purchase or sale of securities by that person in connection with
the tender transaction. For purposes of this subdivision, the
"issuer" includes the district, the local agency that created the
district, and any owner of property within the district. At any time
prior to tendering bonds to the district pursuant to this section,
any person subject to this subdivision shall deliver to the
legislative body of the district a certificate that he or she has
complied with this subdivision and applicable federal and state
securities laws.
53344.4. Any district preparing a report pursuant to Section
53343.1 shall not be required to comply with Section 50075.3.
