reconciles, HdLCC processes the property data. Discrepancies between the Assessor's <br />and Auditor Controller's data are researched and reported to the City. <br />The Orange County Auditor Controller's website has a comprehensive battery of reports <br />that detail the remittances received by the City with each apportionment. HdLCC has <br />the ability to reconcile the receipts to the levy (calculated taxes to be received) and <br />point out areas of deviation of receipts between tax years. This analysis can assist a <br />City in budgeting where specific tax revenues may not be recurring or where receipts in <br />one year may be inflated or reduced due to one-time aberrations. <br />The identification of escaping revenue through the use of property tax data has been a <br />targeted focus for HdLCC during the past 10 years, With the reduction of tax revenues <br />through legislated ERAF, cities, counties, agencies and special districts have been <br />focusing on ways to increase the limited resources already stretched thin. The <br />unsecured roll contains property owners which, when matched with a business license <br />data set can be used to identify escaping revenues. For instance, property leased to <br />businesses in your jurisdiction is taxed to the lessor of the property. We find that <br />frequently, the lessors are not properly registered with a city business license. When <br />notified and properly licensed, these businesses will generate additional revenue for the <br />City. <br />The use of the secured roll will assist in identifying owners of rented residential, <br />commercial, or industrial properties that do not have a business license with the City <br />should one be required. <br />We currently have over 140 unique reports available that have been designed to help <br />inform our clients and assist them in explaining and illustrating trends and concepts to <br />other staff, City Council and the public. HdLCC will provide the following reports based <br />on the 2016-17 lien date rolls and will provide the reports annually, quarterly or <br />monthly as appropriate. Reports are also available from prior years if needed. These <br />Page 111 <br />25B-37 <br />
