Tulare County may owe cities millions

Offi­cials with Tulare County are begin­ning to meet with cities over a bill now due based on a state Supreme Court rul­ing. The Supreme Court has refused to rehear a Los Ange­les County case regard­ing coun­ties over­charg­ing cities for the col­lec­tion of prop­erty taxes. The Coun­cil of Cities in Tulare County filed suit against Tulare County, but that suit was pend­ing the final set­tle­ment of the Los Ange­les case.
