Mills Act Program

At its meeting on April 21, 2020, the City Council adopted a Mills Act Program for the City of Fullerton.  Enacted in 1972, the Mills Act grants participating local governments the authority to enter into contracts with owners of qualified historic properties who actively participate in the restoration and maintenance of their historic properties in exchange for receiving property tax reductions.  The Mills Act is codified in both the California Government Code (Article 12, Section 50280-50290) and the California Revenue and Taxation Code (Article 1.9, Sections 439-439.4) .
