ANNEXATION 40-172 (4-227) LAFCO DESIGNATION 2025-03 NEGOTIATED PROPERTY TAX EXCHANGE JOINT RESOLUTION

The Los Angeles County Public Works Department is managing Annexation 40-172 (4-227), specifically designated as LAFCO Designation 2025-03. The primary objective of this action is to implement a Negotiated Property Tax Exchange Joint Resolution to reapportion the ad valorem tax shared among affected taxing entities. This process is tied to the annexation of land located at the northwest corner of Avenue J and 35th Street East within the City of Lancaster into the Los Angeles County Waterworks District No. 40, Antelope Valley. The project is classified as a forecast with a posted date of August 10, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 921150. It has been granted a statutory exemption under CEQA section 15273 (a)(4), as the action involves the approval of charges by public agencies to secure funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service within existing service areas. Jack Husted, a Senior Civil Engineer, serves as the primary point of contact for the lead agency.
