Gann Appropriations Limit for FY 2023-24

The California State Constitution sets limits on the amount of tax revenues—also called the “Gann Limit”— that local governments can appropriate in a given fiscal year.

Each year, the City of Simi Valley adopts a resolution establishing an appropriations limit. The staff report, resolution, and supporting documents regarding the City's appropriations limit for FY 2023-2024 are available for public view in the Memorandum published on May 19, 2023. The report may also be obtained by calling the City Clerk’s Office at (805) 583-6813.
