Budget not cut much in 1976 77 property taxes
Los Angeles County supervisors approve a six cent county tax rate cut while total property tax bills for Long Beach homeowners rise or fall only slightly due to higher assessments and district levies. The combined rate for a typical Long Beach home of 30 000 value drops 1.22, with many owners seeing higher bills because assessments rose. Tax bills due November 1 will reveal if homeowners accept the trimmed budget or push for steeper cuts next year.
