Subject: Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
The California Revenue and Taxation Code, section 2227, requires the Department of Finance
(Finance) to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments
Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2017,
in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations
limit for fiscal year 2017-18 Attachment A provides the change in California's per capita personal
income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to
calculate the 2017-18 appropriations limit Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated
county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change
for counties and their summed incorporated areas The population percentage change data
excludes federal and state Institutionalized populations and military populations
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit The Revenue and Taxation
Code, section 2228 provides additional Information regarding the appropriations limit.
Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the
appropriations limit calculation mandate The Code and the California Constitution can be
accessed at the following website. http.//leginfo.legislature ca qov/faces/codes.xhtml.
Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation
as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be
directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself No state agency reviews the local
appropriations limits
Population Certification

Attachment -A
Attachment A
A Price Factor Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living
factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body The cost
of living factor provided here is per capita personal income If the percentage
change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used
in setting the fiscal year 2017-18 appropriation limit is
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year
(FY)
Percentage change
over prior year
2017-18 3 69
B Following is an example using sample population change and the change in
California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2017-18
appropriation limit
2017-18:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 3 69 percent
Population Change = 0 85 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio 3.69 + 100 = 1 0369
100
Population converted to a ratio- 0 85 + 100 = 1 0085
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2017-18 1 0369 x 1 0085 = 1 0457
