A measure to let the Inverness Public Utility District keep all the property taxes it collects through 2018 is on the ballot for the Nov. 3 election. A major portion of IPUD’s budget comes from property- tax revenue, but California’s Proposition 13 caps the amount of such revenue that government entities can receive at a certain limit, determined by the governor each year. Any excess tax revenue must be returned to the county, according to IPUD’s general manager, Scott McMorrow, unless voters vote to approve Measure G, which would raise the limit high enough to keep all of that revenue. This year’s appropriations limit is set at $387,204—far below the $431,222 in the district’s estimated tax proceeds. The state’s constitution allows for government agencies to request a vote to raise the cap, and voters in IPUD’s jurisdiction have approved limit-raising measures at four-year intervals since at least 2003. The goal is to keep property-tax revenue for use within IPUD boundaries, Mr. McMorrow said, and voters should not fret over whether their utility bill might increase: it will not. “It has nothing to do with how much people pay,” he said. “People pay the same amount no matter how they vote.”
