[C38] Possessory Interests

[Glenn Terry]

I don't know if it makes you feel any better but I am in SF.  You always 
get the unsecured property tax bill but we have always paid, what we 
call the dock tax.  The specific definition is:

a person or entity leases, rents, or uses real estate owned by a 
government agency for its exclusive use, a taxable possessory interest 
occurs.

Just pay up and hope the economy comes back.

I have worked with all the Tax Collectors / Treasurers in California and 
they are just doing what the Board is telling them.  They are good 
public servants, though elected, that stay in their position for many years.

Regards,

G!enn
