A Message from assessor rick Auerbachos Angeles County’s strong and stable real estate market is again the dominant theme of theL2006 Annual Report which details an 11 percent increase in assessed value. This increase reflectscontinued economic growth and provides vital funding for schools, public health, and safety.I would like to take this opportunity to thank the voters for expressing their approval of the job this departmentis doing by re-electing me for four more years.It’s been an honor to serve taxpayers and property owners as Assessor for the past six years. It will be myprivilege to continue assuring fair and accurate valuations and providing the best in public service.It may seem obvious, but it’s worth repeating: I can neverfully express in words my gratitude to the 1,500 men andwomen who make me look good by making this officeefficient, cost effective, and user friendly.Home sales and the growing economy have increased ourworkload, but the size of the workforce remains the same.The employees of this office do their job within budget andon time, year after year.An amazing statistic came to my attention recently, and itillustrates one reason this department functions so well: theAnnual Report of 1956 lists 25 assessor retirees that yearThe Realtors Advisory CommitteeRick Auerbach meets with one of the four panels he formedto provide professional and community input about service toproperty owners and the public.whose accumulated average length of public service totaled slightly more than 27 years. Carrie B. Stovell of theMap Section was one of those retirees and left after 42 years with the County.Half a century later, it was almost the same story: our list of retirees’ average accumulated time totaled 29 years,including Information Systems Coordinator Joyce Richardson with 46 years in County service!This is an excellent work environment where staff is treated with dignity and respect, and I believe this is whywe convey that same spirit to the people who depend on us to do our job properly.The department’s primary obligation and goal is to produce a timely and accurate Assessment Roll, and thiswas met by reflecting the values of some 2.6 million properties on the Roll, the largest in the nation.2

Community Organizations Committee Tax Agents Committee Escrow and Title CommitteeThere were slight decreases in some areas. We processed 504,300 changes of ownership this year compared to521,700 previously. Construction permits declined slightly from 109,100 to 108,100. I am proud to say thatAssessor employees accomplished these tasks without additional staffing.In contrast to a previous decline, business equipment values actually increased by 6.7 percent (or $4.1 billion).Statistics indicate the business sector made sufficient investment in computers, furniture, machinery andequipment to more than keep pace with the depreciation of existing assets.Assessor employees continue to meet the needs of County taxpayers with courteous and responsive serviceat our office counters and over the telephone, including providing brochures and other materials in variouslanguages. The office also has an interactive website, which now includes a supplemental tax estimator, maps,and forms for downloading.Our Citizen Advisory Committees provide valuable input in both technical and public service matters, includingthe Community Organizations, Escrow and Title, Realtor, and Tax Agent panels. We benefit greatly from theirinvolvement as members meet with me and my management staff to help improve our performance.Let me also take this opportunity to thank the Board of Supervisors and Chief Administrative Officer DavidJanssen, who have supported us over the years.Special recognition is also due my colleagues, Treasurer and Tax Collector Mark Saladino, Auditor-ControllerJ. Tyler McCauley, Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Conny B. McCormack and Executive Officer Sachi A.Hamai, Assessment Appeals Board.I also have the honor of serving as President of the California Assessors’ Association for 2006, and I am workingto implement plans for greater consistency among counties in the valuation process and, hopefully, restore someof the cost reimbursement lost because of State budget constraints.Most of all, I thank the homeowners and business leaders of Los Angeles County for their positive observationsin helping us achieve our commitment to better serve the public.Sincerely,Rick AuerbachAssessor3

CITIES WITH THE GREATEST PERCENT CHANGECityLancasterPalmdaleAzusaSignal HillMalibuPercentChange29.2%21.1%17.7%15.2%14.3%CommentsLancaster’s population increase of 4.5% makes it the fastest growing city inLos Angeles County and the 14th fastest in the nation (with a population ofover 100,000). Accelerated residential new construction and strong growthin the commercial and industrial sectors continue to accommodate therising population, which in turn helps escalate selling prices of both vacantland and improved properties. Higher selling prices also resulted from anincrease in apartment rents.Like Lancaster, Palmdale’s population increase of 3.8%, the second fastestpopulation growth rate in the County and 31 st in the nation, drives the rapidexpansion in both residential and commercial new construction. Housingprices experienced substantial gains during 2005. Both the pressure of highprices and lack of developable land in other areas of Los Angeles Countyhelp fuel the population boom in the Antelope Valley.Azusa has experienced significant gains in property value due, in part, to therecent acquisition of 550 acres for the development of a planned communityknown as the “Rosedale Project.” The land value assessment for this formersite of the Monrovia Nursery makes up almost half of the city’s total growth.When completed, the development will consist of 1,250 new single-familydwellings, a K-8 school, commercial and retail space, a fire station, andnumerous parks and trails.The community of Signal Hill continues to draw home buyers to its cityand ocean views and to the safety of its neighborhoods. High-end homeson the hill have attracted affluent home buyers, spurred demand, andtriggered more residential development including condominium complexes.Residential use is balanced by a thriving commercial and industrial sectorwhere redevelopment is a contributing factor to value.High demand for homes along Malibu’s 21 miles of shoreline and in thecity’s secluded canyon and hillside neighborhoods, coupled with a limitedsupply, create market conditions that have helped fuel a boom in remodelingand renovation in the area. These same conditions have also had significantimpact on property values and changes of ownership, which account forapproximately 80% of the city’s growth.The above comments do not represent a comprehensive in-depth analysis.10

CITIES WITH THE GREATEST PERCENT CHANGECityWest HollywoodPomonaInglewoodCalabasasLa PuentePercentChange14.3%13.9%13.4%13.4%12.9%CommentsThe community of West Hollywood, situated between Hollywood andBeverly Hills, attracts buyers who are willing to compete for the limitedsupply of housing within the city’s boundaries, thus driving up propertyvalues. Most notable are the many condominium projects being completedthat appeal to first-time home buyers seeking upscale residential housing. Inaddition, new construction in the commercial sector has been strong as thedemand for high-end retail and restaurants continues to grow.Commercial projects in Pomona include the Mission Promenade, amulti-million dollar, mixed-used development that combines first floorretail, second floor office space, and third floor residential units. Newresidential tracts include 117 homes along Bonita and Towne avenues anda senior housing development with 174 homes. Yet, even with all the newconstruction, the city’s growth is mostly attributable to transfer activity.Inglewood’s value increases are due primarily to the high-priced westsidereal estate market. In seeking housing, first-time home buyers have foundan alternative in Inglewood and in a price range they can afford. Homebuilders have been drawn to this area for the same reason, and several newsingle-family tract projects have been completed during the past year.Calabasas is an upscale community at the far southwest end of the SanFernando Valley with real estate encompassing flat areas as well as rollinghills and mountains offering panoramic views of city lights and canyonvistas. The growth of this community in the past year can be partlyattributed to the 600-acre master plan development of luxury homes inthe area around the Calabasas Golf and Country Club. Other contributorsinclude the expansion of a development site for luxury homes, the creationof two new auto dealerships, and a multi-million dollar office building withparking structure.La Puente has initiated a federally funded Housing Redevelopment Programto build attractive neighborhoods within the city, offering grants anddeferred loans to improve the exterior and interior of homes. Furthermore,residential purchases have increased due to moderately priced homes.The above comments do not represent a comprehensive in-depth analysis.11
