2017 Accomplishments & 2018 Goals
T
he County of Orange is hard at work throughout each year, providing services to Orange County’s more than 3 million residents. This 2017 Accomplishments and 2018 Goals document highlights that work by noting significant accomplishments throughout the County in 2017, while looking forward to our most important goals and areas of expected achievement for 2018.
Each department across the County provides unique and vital contributions that, together, help construct an effective, innovative system for serving Orange County residents. County departments and individual employees build upon the successes of previous years to continually improve how the County operates and provides services. As you read through these accomplishments and goals, you’ll see how departments’ efforts fit together to contribute to the overall County mission: to make Orange County a “safe, healthy and fulfilling place to live, work and play, today and for generations to come, by providing outstanding, cost-effective regional public services.” I hope this document provides helpful information about the work going on in the County, and I look forward to achieving great things together in 2018.

Completed the valuation and assessment work to produce the 2017-18 Annual Roll and delivered it to the AuditorController on June 27, one day earlier than last year, which showed a total of $557.8 billion, an increase of $31.67 billion over the previous year. This is only the third time since 2008 that the roll was delivered on time.
•
For a third consistent year, extended the Regular Appeals filing period from September 15 to November 30, and saved approximately $300,000 in mailing costs. Every year, according to state regulations, notification must be given to the Clerk of the Board to extend the appeals deadline to November 30, giving the taxpayer longer to file their appeal after they receive their property tax bill from the Treasurer-Tax Collector. Assessor Claude Parrish is always looking for more ways to save.

Although the taxpayer may ask for an extension the Assessor Department almost never does. In order to bring closure and reduce outstanding appeals workload, the Assessor also closely monitors the workload of the Assessment Appeals Board members on The Appeals Boards No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3.

The Assessor, once again, will inform the Clerk of the Board in writing that the appeals deadline will be November 30.

Partnered with other County departments to successfully increase the amount of residential treatment and other crime reduction services options to probation offenders at no cost to the County. The County received two rounds of RRG funding: $500,000 in Fiscal Year 2014-2015, and $250,000 in FY 2015-2016. Probation participated in a working group that included partner agencies that were represented in the Orange County Community Corrections Partnership (OCCCP) to establish a strategy for the grant program.

During this past year, unspent RRG funding was awarded to five local providers that serviced the needs of the target population.
