Property Taxes At All - Time High Total property taxes levied by Orange County and the cities, schools and special districts in the County reached an all-time high of $138,727,358 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1963, compared with $63,412,556 for fiscal 1958. California Taxpayers' Association reported today. Pointing out the growing taxpayer burden reflected in these figures, Executive Director Sheffield J. Arnold said, "While the total levies were increasing 119 per cent in the five-year period, the County's population increased 77 per cent." Statewide total property tax levies for counties, cities, schools and special districts in fiscal 1963 amounted to $2,679,744,013, a 60 per cent increase in five years from the $1,674,883,685 levied in fiscal 1958. During the same period the State's population increased only 20 per cent. Counties in which the greatest tax levies occurred in the five years since 1938 are: El Dorado 224 per cent, Orange 119, Santa Clara 110, Marin 100, Placer 99, Sacramento 99, San Diego 88 and Santa Cruz 85. "California's population growth, tremendous as it is, has been out-distanced by the steady upward course of property taxes." commented Arnold. "The taxpayer needs to ask himself how much he will have left if these trends are allowed to continue. "These are the months when counties, cities and school districts make their budgets — their financial plans for the coming year. Economy and restraint in the spending of tax money are the best keys to controlling the ever-upward course of the property taxes."
