RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution 2016/39 delegating to the Assessor, or designee, the authority to approve claims for refund related to the property tax exemption for the home of a disabled veteran or an unmarried spouse of a deceased disabled veteran; DIRECT Auditor to pay refunds approved by the Assessor in accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code sections 5101 and 5151.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the resolution will have minimal fiscal impact. The resolution merely expedites and simplifies the process for disabled veterans and unmarried spouses of deceased disabled veterans to apply for refunds of property taxes based on the disabled veteran exemption.
