California Court of Appeal

In a petition for a writ of administrative mandate challenging a county's method of calculating property tax administration fee (PTAF) charged to plaintiffs starting in fiscal year 2006-2007, claiming that the PTAF the county charged each plaintiff and retained by the county was in excess of that permitted by Revenue and Taxation Code section 97.75, the trial court's entry of a referee's judgment that the county's interpretation did not violate section 97.75 is reversed and remanded as the statute is clear on its face and the county's method of calculating its fee under section 97.75 was unlawful.
