Capistrano Unified trims Mello Roos rates in Talega move
Cape Unified School District trustees voted to lower the annual Mello Roos increase for Talega and nearby areas, ending a long dispute over high taxes. The board also eliminated a Mello Roos district in Rancho Santa Margarita, with the bond set to be paid by September 2020. In the last fiscal year 2,659 properties paid an average of 553.17 per parcel, and homeowners will not see that tax on the next bill. Trustee Jim Reardon praised residents of Rancho Santa Margarita for funding the facilities. The board cut the Talega district’s proposed rise, against the 28 percent plea, adopting a smaller increase after 44 percent last year.
