Joins Paramedic Ranks Property Assessments Soaring SACRAMENTO (UPI) Local property tax assessments increased 11.7 per cent statewide last year, the largest rise in property values in 28 years, it was announced today. The State Board of Equalization said the total value of locally assessed California property now totals $79.8 billion. The 11.7 per cent assessment increase for the 1975-76 fiscal year compared with a 10.8 per cent rise a year earlier, the board said.

Property owners can expect to feel the increase when tax bills are mailed out by local collecters in October or November. The year-to-year jump in property values is the greatest since 1947-48 fiscal year, the board said. Kern County had the largest assessment jump of the 58 counties, 23.7 per cent. At the other end of the range was Mariposa County with a 14.9 per cent decrease in assessment values. Decreases occurred in seven counties, mostly because of a drop in the value of timber properties, the board said.

Among the most populous counties, here are the assessement increases; Alameda 10.9 per cent, Los Angeles 8.7 per cent, Sacramento 11.6 per cent, San Diego 13.3 per cent and San Francisco 22.6 per cent.
