[Calclg-l] Mills Act Information Request

[Kimberly COLE]

1. 1998
2. All listed buildings are eligible.
3.  We do allow additions if they meet the Secretary of Interior
Standards for Rehabilitation.  Our County Assessor has not given the
reduced rate for additions.  In fact, some property owners have filed
appeals of this decision and lost.
4.  The City of Monterey requires that the building be maintained.  In
some cases, this means rehabilitation or maintenance.  It depends on the
structure's condition.
5.  The sends out a letter annually requesting maintenance
information.
6.  I've tried to piece together a "revenue lost" statement for our
community for when the Finance Department asks the questions.  I am only
waiting on when this question is asked..

Good luck on your program.  Kim

Good Morning CLGs!  On Monday the 23rd, CPF will be holding a workshop
in San Clemente on the Mills Act and we would like to share what's
happening in other communities with the Mills Act program.  Please
share
what's going on in your community when you have a minute. 

 

1.       How old is your program?

2.       Eligibility: Are all listed buildings eligible for Mills Act

3.       Additions: Do you allow additions to historic structures
under
the Mills Act if they follow the standards?  What size additions do
communities allow under the contract?  Are they assessed under the
special assessment?

4.       Restoration Conditions: What type of improvements do
communities require within the 10 years, if any?  Do you add more
after
the initial 10 years? What other restrictions/clauses does your
community require?

5.       Monitoring: How does your community track their contracts and
the improvements?

6.       City Revenue Loss: Does your community maintain an assessment
tracker to understand the amount of city revenue "lost" every year due
to the special tax assessment?  

7.       Lessons Learned/Recent Issues...

 

If you want a copy of the findings of this survey please send me an
email.

Thank you!

Jennifer
