San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister will provide valuable insight on the county's tax collection process, present 2007-08 collection statistics and answer questions regarding today's economy at the chamber's First Friday Breakfast next month.
The office of the San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector will issue nearly one million tax bills for the 2008-09 tax year and is expected to generate in excess of $4 billion dollars. McAllister is responsible for the billing, collecting and investing of the county's property taxes. He also is responsible for the investment and management of more than $6 billion dollars of public funds.
During the First Friday Breakfast, McAllister will discuss:
• Recent changes to the tax bill and the new tax bill guide, which was redesigned to help tax payers understand their annual property tax bill.
• The Local Banking Initiative, an effort to invest monies in local banks that promotes economic development and improves the quality of life for residents by supplying the banks with monies to fund mortgage, auto, small business and personal loans to San Diego County residents.
