    Natural Hazard Disclosures

    A. Special Flood Hazard Areas Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) are designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and are also called FEMA Flood Zones. Land located in such areas is prone to flooding, either partially or completely, in any given year. Properties in flood zones must have adequate flood insurance to guard against the so-called 100-year flood. This designation is somewhat misleading, as the 100-year flood has a one in four chance of occurring during a thirty year mortgage. Land outside of a flood zone may still be in danger of severe flooding, so lenders have the right to require owners to purchase flood insurance, even if the property is not within the boundaries of the Special Flood Hazard Area. For more information contact FEMA: www.fema.gov Condominium Note: California disclosure requirements state that if any part of the property owned by the Condominium Association or owned in undivided interests by the unit owners is in an area subject to flood inundation, then all dwelling units are shown in said area. However, if the particular dwelling unit is not in the flood inundation area, the owner may not be required to purchase flood insurance pursuant to federal requirements. In some circumstances the Owners Association may have obtained flood insurance covering the Common Areas and, where applicable, the affected dwelling units. A precise determination may be made by obtaining a flood certificate usually required by the lender.

    B. Areas of Potential Flooding The California Office of Emergency Services (OES) develops maps showing areas in danger of flooding should a dam partially or totally fail. Dam failure can cause flooding, personal injury, loss of property and loss of life. Many dams have not yet been mapped by the Office of Emergency Services and some maps have not been submitted to the appropriate public agencies. For more information, contact OES in Sacramento: www.oes.ca.gov

    C. Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) are designated by the California Director of Forestry and Fire Prevention. Following the devastating firestorms in the Oakland-Berkeley Hills in 1991, the California Legislature ordered the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF) to identify fire hazard zones to reduce the possibility of uncontrolled fires. Properties in designated fire hazard zones are considered not to be a state fire responsibility. Notices must be posted in various county offices explaining how to find maps identifying these zones. Local agencies must designate by ordinance Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones within their jurisdictions unless they adopt equivalent or more restrictive measures of their own. For more information, see Public Resources Code §4125, et seq.

    D. Wildland Fire Areas Wildland Fire Areas are identified by the State Board of Forestry, and are assigned to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection for primary wildland fire suppression. These areas, known as State Responsibility Areas (SRA) are at significant risk of forest, brush and wildland fires. Sellers are required to inform all potential buyers of these considerable risks. Buyers must also be informed that construction, remodeling, and landscaping of properties in state responsibility areas can be severely restricted because of fire danger. Notices must be posted in various county offices explaining how to find maps identifying these zones. For more information, see Public Resources Code §4291, or contact CDF Region 21 Ranger Unit.

    Natural Hazard Disclosures (continued)

    E. Earthquake Fault Zones Earthquake Fault Zones are mapped by the California Division of Mines and Geology. These maps detail surface traces of known active faults. Only active faults identified to date are required to be shown on the maps. Fault zones are generally designated to be 660 feet on either side of the fault trace. Development and construction in these zones are controlled by the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act of 1994. For more information, contact California Department of Conservation or California Geological Survey in Sacramento, or www.consrv.ca.gov

    F. Seismic Hazard Zones Similar to Earthquake Fault Zones, Seismic Hazard Zone maps are also compiled by the California Division of Mines and Geology. Areas identified on these maps are subject to landslides, strong ground shaking and possible liquefaction where the soil acts like a liquid following a severe earthquake. Counties and cities may require stricter building standards in such areas. For online information about mapped areas, see www.consrv.ca.gov/dmg/shezp/schedule.html

    Additional Disclosures

    I. Radon Radon is defined by the Department of Health Services (DHS) as a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas produced by the decay of trace amounts of uranium occurring naturally in soils. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that all homes be tested for radon. The average concentration inside American homes is approximately 1.3 picocuries per liter. The average outdoor concentration is about 0.4 picocuries per liter. The EPA recommends avoiding long-term exposure to any level above 4.0 picocuries per liter because radon exposure can cause lung cancer. The Department of Health Services database identifies areas prone to excessive indoor radon levels. Statistical information is provided by zip code and by county. If no indoor radon test data is available within a zip code, information for that area is omitted from the database. For more information, see “California Geology” - November-December 1997 by Ron Churchill, Senior Geologist, Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology: www.consrv.ca.gov/cgs/minerals/hazardous/radon

    II. Commercial Industrial Zoning Disclosure California Residential Disclosure Law (section 1103, et seq. of the California Civil Code) requires a Seller to disclose to Buyer, Seller’s actual knowledge of any commercial or industrial use within one mile of the subject property. This disclosure identifies industrial use zones, from public records, within one mile of the subject property to help make that determination.

    III. Military Ordnance Location (Formerly Used Defense) Sellers of residential property are required to disclose actual knowledge they may have of any Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) within one mile of their property containing military ordnance. To aid in this disclosure we have identified all locatable FUDS, specified by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, as sites that have been used by the military and may contain military ordnance.

    IV. Notice of Airport in Vicinity

    If the Airport Influence Area is checked “yes” in the Summary, then the following statement applies. “This property is presently located in the vicinity of an airport, within what is known as an airport influence area. For that reason, the property may be subject to some of the annoyances or inconveniences associated with proximity to airport operations (for example: noise, vibration, or odors). Individual sensitivities to those annoyances can vary from person to person. You may wish to consider what airport annoyances, if any, are associated with the property before you complete your purchase and determine whether they are acceptable to you.”

    V. Airport Noise Contour maps may be provided by airports indicating areas where noise levels may exceed 65 decibels, the sound level of a busy street.

    VI. Farmland The intent of AB 2881 is to ensure that anyone purchasing real estate within one mile of farmland is made aware of the state's right-to-farm laws. Purchasers are often unaware that the State of California has laws to protect a farmer’s right to perform customary farming activities, some of which are dirty, noisy, or lead to unpleasant odors. In addition there are some aspects of farming operations can extend beyond a farm’s boundaries, through water runoff and irrigation ditches, for example.

    VII. Climate Zone – New Duct Sealing Requirements As of October 1, 2005, you must have your home’s ducts tested for leaks when you have a central air conditioner or furnace installed or replaced. Ducts that leak 15 percent or more must be repaired to reduce the leaks. After your contractor tests and fixes the ducts, you choose whether to have an approved third-party field verifier check to make sure the duct testing and sealing was done properly or to have your house included in a random sample where one in seven duct systems are checked. Duct sealing is not required in the following situations: 1) when homes are in specific coastal climates; 2) when systems have less than 40 feet of ductwork in unconditioned spaces like attics, garages, crawlspaces, basements or outside the building, or 3) when ducts are constructed, insulated or sealed with asbestos. There also are specific alternatives that allow high efficiency equipment and added duct insulation to be installed instead of fixing duct leaks. You also should know that any contractor failing to obtain a required building permit and failing to test and repair your ducts is violating the law and exposing you to additional costs and liability. Real estate law requires you to disclose to potential buyers and appraisers whether or not you obtained required permits for work done on your house. If you do not obtain a permit, you may be required to bring your home into compliance with code requirements for that work and you may have to pay penalty permit fees and fines prior to selling your home. The greatest energy use in California homes is for central air conditioning and heating. Most homes with central air conditioning and heating systems have ducts that were never properly sealed. The average home’s ducts leak around 30 percent of the conditioned air outside the home. These leaks are taking money straight out of your pocketbook. Properly sealed ducts will lower your energy bills, reduce pollution inside your home, and help to avoid a repeat of the inconvenience and health and safety risks that we suffered during the power blackouts in 2000. For more information, please contact the Energy Commission Efficiency Hotline at (800) 772-3300, or visit website at www.energy.ca.gov/title24/changeout.

    Advisory Disclosures

    1. Molds Advisory Molds and fungi are naturally occurring plants which may cause allergic reactions, respiratory problems and rashes, as well as other responses from sensitive people. Molds may be present inside and outside residential properties, and may damage property and possessions. There are inspection companies who may be retained to determine whether and to what extent molds and fungi may be present. All parties are advised to seek professional advice on the presence and clean-up of such material. More information may be found on the web at sites such as www.epa.gov/mold.

    2. Registered Sex Offender Database (“Megan’s Law”) Advisory California law allows the public to access the database containing detailed information concerning registered sex offenders, including physical descriptions, name(s), locations and nature of the offense(s). The California Department of Justice, (DOJ), maintains a website at www.meganslaw.ca.gov Local police and sheriffs’ offices may be contacted for neighborhood information and a CD-ROM may be available. The DOJ has a Registered Sex Offender Hotline (900) 448-3000 for further information.

    3. Methamphetamine Advisory The State of California passed the Methamphetamine Contaminated Property Cleanup Act of 2005 which became effective January 1, 2006.This Act, among other requirements, authorizes the imposition of a civil penalty upon a property owner who does not provide notice or disclosure required by the act, or upon a person who violates an order issued by the local health officer prohibiting the use or occupancy of a property contaminated by a methamphetamine laboratory activity. The property owner is also liable for the costs for testing, remediating, and administering enforcement and oversight upon a property that receives an order. In addition, it authorizes a local government to impose a nuisance abatement lien if the property owner fails to pay for the costs of remediation. More information may be found on the web at as http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/SiteCleanup/ERP/Clan_Labs.cfm

    Local Hazard Disclosures

    Los Angeles County COUNTY AND CITY DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

    To have more precise information in order to make a more informed decision, buyers should be provided with local-level natural hazards as well as the statutory disclosures. Cities and Counties that have developed their own safety element or other hazard maps may use different sources than the State. Therefore, a site considered as a hazard by one source, may not be included as a hazard by another source. Maps prepared by the local jurisdiction may be used making decisions regarding new or additional construction. If the property which is the subject of this report, is in a locally mapped hazard zone or if information of concern exists in another source, the property may require a geologic or other study prior to any new or additional construction. Additional natural hazards may exist which are not in this report. To investigate other sources of natural hazard information that may be available and used at the local level, contact the local agency Planning, Engineering or Building Departments. It’s recommended that the buyer review the County of Los Angeles web site at http://planning.co.la.ca.us/ Los Angeles County

    1) Fault Rupture Hazard Active Faults: Faults where there has been subsurface earthquake activity, or any surface ground breakage, within the last approximately 20,000 years. Potentially Active Faults: Faults where there has been activity approximately between 20,000 and 750,000 years ago.

    2) Liquefaction Susceptibility Liquefaction is the term which describes the transformation of loose fine-grained soils which are mixed with water into a fluid material not stable enough to support buildings. It can occur in situations involving shaking, such as with earthquakes, or super-saturation, such as with higher than normal water table due to standing surface waters. Liquefaction can result in buildings and other heavy objects sinking into the wet soils, usually unevenly, causing slab cracking or building settlement, which may tear the building apart.

    3) Tsunami Hazards Tsunami Inundation Area: A tsunami is a sea wave generated by a submarine earthquake, landslide, or volcanic action. The affected areas are considered to be of moderate risk by the County of Los Angeles. All of the Pacific coastal areas are exposed to the potential hazard of tsunamis to a greater or lesser degree.

    4) Landslide and Slope Instability and Unstable Soils Slope Stability Zones: Old landslides and landslide-prone formations are the principal non-seismic geologic hazards in the County of Los Angeles. Conditions which should be considered with regard to slope instability include the angle of slope, soil type and, the presence of groundwater. The causes of landslides start with the preexisting condition inherent within the earth itself which can lead to failure. The actuators of landslides can be both natural events such as earthquakes, rainfall, erosion and human activities. Those induced by man are most commonly related to large grading activities which can cause new slides or reactivate old ones when compacted fill is placed on potentially unstable slopes. Cutting operations, another human activity, contribute to landslides when the lateral support near the base of unstable hillside areas is removed. Consistent with the Los Angeles County Safety Element, which shows areas impacted by “Storm-Induced Landslides”, “Mud and Debris Flooding”, “Areas of Shallow Surficial Landslides”, and “Identified Bedrock Landslides”,

    245 W Broadway, Suite 200 ● Long Beach, CA 90802 ● Phone (562) 435 5100 ● Fax (562) 435 5113 Page 14

    this report reflects the same data but to a much higher degree of accuracy. While the General Plan uses generalized locations, we have pinpointed locations by using Aerial Photos, State and USGS geologic maps, in order to more accurately define the areas which are susceptible to future landslides. We have also included USGS and state maps showing actual earthquake induced landslides and “young” or Holocene landslide deposits active during the last approximately 10,000 years. Some properties listed as an instability hazard in the County General Plan, have been mitigated and no longer pose a threat. If the buyer has any doubts about the subject property, the buyer should contact a geotechnical consultant.

    5) Local County and City Fire Hazards Los Angeles County Fire Zone 4 defines areas having a potential for woodland and brush fires. These areas require stringent fire enforcement measures. Also delineated on the County Fire Safety element maps are industrial areas, petrochemical areas and high-rise buildings that present unique fire hazards. We have included maps from cities that have prepared their own fire safety element map. It is possible to be in a State Fire Zone and not in a Local Fire Zone. You should check with the local agency about its requirements. New or additional construction may require fire-resistant materials and property owners have strict brush clearance or firebreak requirements.

    6) Asbestos Hazard Zones (Ultramafic Rocks) Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in rocks and soil. Ultramafic and serpentine rock can contain asbestos. If these rocks are crushed, small asbestos fibrous particles may be found in the dust and disturbed dirt that is disbursed into the air. Such activities may include use of unpaved roads, quarrying operations, construction grading, etc. Breathing dust containing asbestos may result in lung disorders and other health problems. Although the State of California has no disclosure requirement, the local agencies may require reference to asbestos hazard zones where they are mapped. El Dorado County was the first to enact such a disclosure requirement.

    7) Coastal Bluffs of Los Angeles County Severe winter storms of the past have caused heavy surf and rains which severely eroded beaches and fragile sea cliffs along the coast of Los Angeles County. During these storm seasons, coastal highways and roads were damaged and closed for a considerable period of time by landslides, and many buildings were damaged or threatened by sea-cliff retreat and slope failure .

    8) Special Flood

    The State of California has initiated a new floodplain mapping program to assist all communities with initial identification of flood hazard areas currently not mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The intent is to provide the community as well as the individual citizen an additional tool in understanding potential flood hazards currently not mapped as a regulated floodplain. This will enable each community to provide better protection for its citizens against loss of life and loss of property damages during a flood event as well as reduce community costs for emergency response needs. This is not a FEMA product, however, at the request of the community FEMA would include this data on their maps. These floodplains will be shown simply as flood prone areas without specific depth and other flood hazard data. For more information see http://www.fpm.water.ca.gov/mapping/mapping.cfm

    9) NOTICE OF RIGHT TO FARM If shown on the summary as “yes” This property is located within one mile of a farm or ranch land designated on the current county-level GIS “Important Farmland Map,” issued by the California Department of Conservation, Division of Land Resource Protection. Accordingly, the property may be subject to inconveniences or discomforts resulting from agricultural operations that are a normal and necessary aspect of living in a community with a strong rural character and a healthy agricultural sector. Customary agricultural practices in farm operations may include, but are not limited to, noise, odors, dust, light, insects, the operation of pumps and machinery, the storage and disposal of manure, bee pollination, and the ground or aerial application of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. These agricultural practices may occur at any time during the 24-hour day. Individual sensitivities to those practices can vary from person to person. You may wish to consider the impacts of such agricultural practices before you complete your purchase. Please be advised that you may be barred from obtaining legal remedies against agricultural practices conducted in a

    10) Expansive soils

    Expansive soils are soils which have a potential to undergo significant changes in volume, either shrinking or swelling, with changes in moisture content. Periodic shrinking and swelling of expansive soils can cause extensive damage to buildings, other structures and roads. The potential volume change of an expansive soil is governed by the moisture content and the percentage and type of clay minerals present in the soil. Soils composed only of sand and gravel have no potential for volume change due to moisture change. Soils containing clays have variable potential for volume changes. Such soils are generally classified into three expansive soils classes with low, moderate, and high potential for volume changes. * Moderate - Building may require special designs or maintenance for satisfactory performance over an acceptable period of time. * High - Building requires special design, a significant increase in construction cost, or an appreciably higher maintenance cost for satisfactory performance over an acceptable period of time High or Moderate or Low indicates the dominant soil condition in the area but does not eliminate the need for onsite investigation as conditions can vary within any neighborhood. However, because of the apparent complexity of factors affecting soil expansiveness, the mapped areas are estimates only. Detailed investigations are required to fully evaluate the shrink-swell characteristics of soils at any given site. If a site is found to have expansive soils, this can be mitigated through proper foundation design. Older homes built before modern building codes have taken affect are more susceptible to foundation problems. Check with your local building department if there is a question.

    Local City Disclosures Some Cities in Los Angeles County have their own safety element maps to delineate potential hazards, in addition to referencing the official seismic hazard maps adopted by Los Angeles County and the State of California. They will be shown under Local Hazard Disclosures on the summary page.

    A) Methane – City of Los Angeles In 1985 methane gas seeped into a building in the Fairfax area of Los Angeles and caused a fire. The city responded by amending the civil code regarding possible methane gas hazards. Methane Zones and Methane Buffer Zones were designated by the Los Angeles City Council based upon data provided by the Division of Oil, Gas, and other state agencies. These zones designate areas where there are concerns about methane gas below the surface. Project permits within these zones may require methane mitigation measures. Site testing of subsurface geological formations may also be ordered. For more information, see: www.ladbs.org/rpt_code_pub/Methane_Code.pdf.

    B) Fault Rupture Study Area These areas include all of the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones, as well as some additional fault zone study areas established by the cities. Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones are those determined by the state of California as part of the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone Act. If an earthquake study zone is established by the local Safety Element, additional soils and geology reports may be required to help assess potential hazards and mitigation measures as a part of the development permit process.

    C) Brush Fire Hazard Areas

    The City of Los Angeles has mapped High, Moderate and Low Brush Fire Hazard severity zones. Dry Santa Ana winds occur during the fall and winter, making these areas especially vulnerable to brush fires due to dry vegetation and tinder. Other cities have their own definitions shown in the Local Hazard Disclosure Summary. Check with the city for their requirements in these zones. High – generally are areas with chaparral or woodland vegetation and moderate to steep topography. Moderate – generally are areas with grassland or sage scrub plant with steep topography. Landfills are in this category because of their unique fuel characteristics. Low – includes some hillside areas and communities dominated by grassland or sage scrub plants. Fire risk reduction measures, like fire breaks and electric power transmission line corridors where vegetation has been cleared, help mitigate fire hazards in these areas. It’s recommended that the buyer review the City of Los Angeles web site at: http://cityplanning.lacity.org/

    D) High Wind Zones High winds and blowing sand and debris can cause damage and discomfort. Properties and further development in these areas may be subject to additional governmental regulations and special permits.

    NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL PROPERTY TAX BILL

    In accordance with Section 1102.6(c) of the California Civil Code, it is the sole responsibility of the seller of any real property, or his or her agent, to deliver to the prospective purchaser a disclosure notice of the following: California property tax law requires the Assessor to revalue real property at the time the ownership of the property changes. Because of this law, you may receive one or two supplemental tax bills, depending on when your loan closes. The supplemental tax bills are not mailed to your lender. If you have arranged for your property tax payments to be paid through an impound account, the supplemental tax bills will not be paid by your lender. It is your responsibility to pay these supplemental bills directly to the Tax Collector. If you have any question concerning this matter, please call your local Tax Collector’s Office. As stated above, California law requires that the Assessor re-appraise property upon a change of ownership or the completion of new construction. This re-appraisal results in a supplemental tax assessment which is based on the difference between the new value and the old value of the property, multiplied by the property’s Ad Valorem tax rate. The resulting Supplemental Tax amount is then pro-rated, based upon the number of months remaining in the fiscal year in which the event occurred. The number of tax bills which will be issued also depends on the date the event occurred. If the change of ownership or new construction is completed between January 1st and May 31st, the result will be two supplemental assessments levied on two supplemental tax bills. If the event occurs between June 1st and December 31st , then only one supplemental bill will be issued. For a complete explanation and estimation of the supplemental tax bills affecting this parcel you can go to www.californiataxdata.com and order a complete Notice of Supplemental Tax Report.

    SPECIAL ALERT New Mandatory Transfer Fee Disclosure Required 1/1/08

    1. Private Transfer Fee

    This is commonly known as a "Private Transfer Tax". It is a fee imposed by a private entity such as a property developer, home builder, or homeowner association, when a property within a certain type of subdivision is sold or transferred. A private transfer fee may also be imposed by an individual property owner. Private transfer fees are different from city or county Documentary Transfer Taxes. Private Transfer Fees may apply in addition to government Documentary Transfer Taxes that are due upon sale or transfer of the property.

    California Civil Code Section 1098 defines a "Transfer Fee" as "any fee payment requirement imposed within a covenant, restriction, or condition contained in any deed, contract, security instrument, or other document affecting the transfer or sale of, or any interest in, real property that requires a fee be paid upon transfer of the real property." Certain existing fees such as governmental fees, court ordered fees, mechanic lien fees, common interest development fees, etc. are specially excluded from the definition of "Transfer Fee"

    To determine if the property is subject to a Transfer Fee, OBTAIN COPIES OF ALL THE EXCEPTIONS LISTED ON THE PRELIMINARY (TITLE) REPORT FROM THE TITLE COMPANY AND READ THEM TO DETERMINE IF ANY TRANSFER FEES ARE APPLICABLE. Please be aware that private transfer fees may be difficult to identify by simply reading the title report.

    Effective January 1, 2008, Civil Code Section 1102.6e requires the Seller to notify the Buyer of whether a private transfer fee applies and if present, to disclose certain specific information about the fee.

    Content of Disclosure. Civil Code Section 1102.6e requires the Seller to disclose specific information about any Transfer Fee that may affect the property. Please refer to the legal code or to the C.A.R Form NTF (11/07), provided by the California Association of Realtors, for a standard format to use in making the Transfer Fee Disclosure if you elect to investigate and make this disclosure personally.

    How to Determine the Existence of a Transfer Fee. If a Transfer Fee does exist affecting the property, the document creating the fee may be on file with the County Recorder as a notice recorded against the property and should be disclosed in the preliminary (title) report on the property. However, the preliminary (title) report will merely disclose the existence of the documents affecting title, not the content of the documents. The title of a document may also not be sufficient to disclose that a transfer fee is included in its terms. Accordingly Seller should (a) request the title company which issued the preliminary (title) report to provide copies of the documents shown as "exceptions," and (b) review each document to determine if it contains a transfer fee.

    2. Documentary Transfer Taxes

    This is a government tax imposed by a city or county when a property within the jurisdiction is sold or transferred.(It is commonly known as a "Real Estate Transfer Tax".) It is NOT the same as a private transfer fee, which may be imposed by a private entity such as a property developer, home builder, or homeowner association. However, it is a similar fee due upon closing, calculated based on a percentage of the purchase price.

    Transfer Tax Defined. Under California Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 11911-11929, counties and cities are authorized to impose a tax on the transfer of property located within their jurisdiction. The tax is commonly known by various names, including the Documentary Transfer Tax, or Real Property Transfer Tax, or Real Estate Transfer Tax (hereinafter, the "Transfer Tax").

    How Much? The tax is due at closing and payable through escrow. This tax does not expire. All future sales of this property will be charged this tax at close of escrow. The amount of the transfer tax is based on the value or sale prices of the property that is transferred. The county rate is one dollar and ten cents ($1.10) for each one thousand dollars ($1.000) of value. The rate for non-charter ("general law") cities is one-half of the county rate and is credited against the county tax due. Charter cities may impose a transfer tax at a rate higher than the county rate.

    For any city or county in California, the Transfer Tax rate ("Tax Rate Table") is available at no charge from many sources, most conveniently on the website of the California Local Government Finance Almanac (sponsored by the California League of Cities): http://www.californiacityfinance.com/PropTransfTaxRates.pdf

    To estimate the transfer tax for the property, multiply the Property's estimated sales price (in thousands of dollars) by the amount shown in the Tax Rate Table for the city and county in which the property is located.

    Who Pays? The law states that, "the Transfer Tax must be paid by the person who makes, signs or issues any document subject to the tax, or for whose use or benefit the document is made, signed or issued." In practice, this means that the payment of the Transfer Tax is customarily made by the Seller or the Buyer, or shared by both, depending on the jurisdiction in which the transferred property is located.

    Are there any exemptions? The California Revenue and Taxation Code, which provides the statutory authority for counties to impose the transfer tax, specifically exempts from the transfer tax the following transactions:

    1. Instruments in writing given to secure a debt. 2. Transfers whereby the federal or any state government, or agency, instrumentality or political subdivision thereof, acquires title to realty. 3. Transfers made to effect a plan of reorganization or adjustment (i) confirmed under the Federal Bankruptcy Act, (ii) approved in certain equity receivership proceedings or (iii) whereby a mere change in identity, form or place of organization is effected. 4. Certain transfers made to effect an order of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935. 5. Transfers of an interest in a partnership (or, beginning January 1, 2000, an entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes) that holds realty, if (i) the partnership is treated as continuing under IRC § 708 and (ii) the continuing partnership continues to hold the realty. 6. Certain transfers in lieu of foreclosure. 7. Transfers, divisions or allocations of community, quasi-community or quasi-marital property between spouses pursuant to, or in contemplation of, a judgment under the Family Code. 8. Transfers by the State of California, or any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, pursuant to an agreement whereby the purchaser agrees to immediately reconvey the realty to the exempt agency. 9. Transfers by the State of California, or any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, to certain nonprofit corporations. 10. Transfers pursuant to certain inter vivos gifts or inheritances.

    DESCRIPTION OF 1915 BOND ACT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT(S)

    Regional Park & Open Space District Los Angeles County Regional Park & Open Space District

    $859,000,000.00

    Summary Passage of the Safe Neighborhood Parks Proposition of 1992, Proposition A, on November 3, 1992, created the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District. The District’s boundaries are coterminous with the boundaries of Los Angeles County. The 1992 Proposition funded $540 million dollars for the acquisition, development, rehabilitation, protection and restoration of beach, wildlife, park and natural lands with the County, tree-planting, gang prevention and intervention, and improvement of recreation facilities for youth and senior citizens. On November 5, 1996, provided an additional $319 million dollars in funding for the development, acquisition, improvement, restoration and maintenance of parks, recreational, cultural and community facilities and open space lands within the County of Los Angeles. The bonds were issued pursuant to the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 to pay for the acquisition and/or construction of certain public facilities benefiting the properties in the district. The assessment lien is collected in annual installments to pay the interest and principal on the bonds and administrative expenses.

    What facilities does it pay for? Proceeds from the sales of these bonds will be used for the acquisition, development, rehabilitation, protection and restoration of beach, wildlife, park and natural lands with the County, tree-planting, gang prevention and intervention, improvement of recreation facilities for youth and senior citizens, restoration and maintenance of parks, recreational, cultural and community facilities and open space lands within the County of Los Angeles.

    How is the annual levy calculated? The principal amount of the bonds is allocated to each parcel in the district in proportion to the benefit received from the public facilities. The annual assessment installments represent each parcel's share of the interest and principal on the bonds. Administrative expenses are allocated to each parcel.

    Can the annual levy increase? To the extent that the annual interest and principal payments on the bonds are not perfectly level, the annual installment payment amount may increase. Installment payment amounts may also increase if additional bonds are authorized and issued.

    How long will it be on the tax bill? The annual installments will be collected until the final payment on the bonds is made in 2021.

    Foreclosure Proceedings The Assessment District has the right (and if bonds are issued, the obligation) to foreclose on property when the special taxes are delinquent for more than 90 days. Additionally, any costs of collection and penalties must be paid by the delinquent property owner.

    DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY TAX CHARGES Ad Valorem Tax An Ad Valorem Tax is a tax levied on a parcel that is calculated based on the assessed value of the parcel. Ad valorem taxes may include those taxes that were approved by voters before that passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, General Obligation Bonds or Special Taxes that are based on assessed value as opposed to some other method. Taxes that were established before 1978 may be used for various services and improvements and may or may not be associated with public indebtedness (the issuance of municipal bonds). A General Obligation Bond is a municipal bond that may be issued by a city, county or school district in order to finance the acquisition and construction of public capital facilities and real property. Equipment purchases and the cost of operation and maintenance cannot be financed with a General Obligation Bond. Special Taxes are created pursuant to various California Code Sections and require 2/3 majority approval of the qualified voters for approval. A special tax is may be formed by a local government (a city, county, special district, etc...) in order to finance specific facilities and/or services and cannot be used for general purposes. Paramedics Services Assessment A Paramedics Services Assessment is a special assessment created upon majority approval of voters. A Paramedic Services Assessment may be levied or bonds issued by a local government (a city, county, special district, etc...) in order to finance certain services that benefit the citizens within the district. 1915 Bond Act Assessment District A 1915 Bond Act Assessment District is a special assessment district created pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911 (Streets and Highways Code Section 5000 et seq.) or the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 (Streets and Highways Code Section 10000 et seq.) upon majority approval of the property owners during an assessment balloting procedure. A 1915 Act Assessment District may be formed by a local government (a city, county, special district, etc...) in order to finance certain designated facilities that benefit the properties within the district. A 1915 Act Assessment District must provide special benefit to the properties within the district in order to levy special assessments. A 1915 Act Assessment District will include the ability to issue municipal bonds to finance facilities pursuant to the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Streets and Highways Code Section 8500 et seq.) and the debt is paid over time from the levy of the special assessments. Water/Sewer Standby Charge A Water Standby Charge is created pursuant Government Code Section 54984 or Water Code Section 35470 et seq.). A Sewer Standby Charge is created pursuant Government Code Section 54984. Upon majority approval of the property owners during an assessment balloting procedure, a water or sewer standby charge may be created by a any local agency authorized to provide water or sewer services in order to finance the certain designated facilities and/or services that benefit the properties that are assessed. A standby charge must provide special benefit to the properties that are assessed in order to be levied. Vector Control District A Vector Control District is a special assessment district created pursuant to the Health and Safety Code Section 2270 et seq., in order to collect costs of a local government (a city, county, special district, etc...) related to vector control. One-time abatements include a notice to the property owner prior to abatement followed by a public hearing. Upon abatement, if the amount owing remains delinquent, a recorded lien is placed on the parcel for the abatement amount, which may include a surcharge that is usually 10% of the amount or is an administrative charge based on actual administrative costs. Ongoing abatements are established upon majority approval of the property owners during an assessment balloting procedure. 1982 Act Benefit Assessment District A 1982 Act Benefit Assessment District is a special assessment district created pursuant to the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 (Government Code Section 54703 et seq.) upon majority approval of the property owners during an assessment balloting procedure.
