GANN Limits

In 2014, the City of San Ramon formed Community Facilities District No. 2014-1, pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982. The purpose of the CFD’s is to finance public infrastructure and services to support development within the districts. At the time, the CFD was comprised of Acre, the original subdivision, in Tax Zone 1. Now the CFD has grown to include five additional developments across three different tax zones, including The Preserve (formerly Faria Preserve), Annexation no.1 in Tax Zone 2; Promenade, Annexation no. 2 in Tax Zone 3; 500 Deerwood, Annexation no. 3 in Tax Zone 1; Aspenwood, Annexation no. 4 in Tax Zone 1; and 2481 Deerwood, Annexation no. 5 also in Tax Zone 1.

Article XIII B of the California Constitution, commonly known as the Gann Limit, places a limit on the amount of revenue that can be appropriated by state and local governments each fiscal year. Government Code Section 7910 requires each local government entity, including community facilities districts, to establish its appropriations limit for each fiscal year. The limit is determined based on the previous year's limit, adjusted for changes in the cost of living and population. Each year, the State Department of Finance (DOF) transmits an estimate of the percentage change in population of local governments (Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 2227) and produces an estimate of the statewide growth in personal income.
