The AT&T / Bloxom Annexation, Local Agency Formation Commission Project No. 2019-04, will annex one parcel (APN 089-010-075) into the El Dorado County Fire Protection District service area. The annexation triggers the requirement under the law to redistribute property tax increments applicable to the property being annexed.

El Dorado County Fire Protection District would accept a 9.0944% share of the property tax increment. This distribution is consistent with surrounding parcels (Tax Rate Areas) for the subject property. El Dorado Irrigation District's share of the property tax increment will decrease from 8.2814% to 6.8688%. El Dorado Water Agency's share of the property tax increment will decrease from 1.2142% to 1.0081%. These increments each total a 17% proportional reduction to each agency in order to allow for a 9.0944% allocation to the Fire district. The increment for the County General Fund, the County Capital Outlay Fund, the Road District, and CSA 7 (EMS/Ambulance) would also decrease by 17%. Other details of the proposed exchange of tax increment are included in Exhibit A of the attached Resolution.
