CSHV 1999 Harrison LLC v. County of Alameda (A163369)
This case raises the question of whether a corporation formed and owned by CalPERS can avoid property transfer taxes as a governmental entity. CSAC’s amicus brief argues that if CalPERS elects to obtain the benefits of a corporate structure, that corporation cannot also enjoy the benefits of a public entity (including exemption from transfer taxes) especially at the expense of local government revenue. CSAC’s brief was prepared by Ryan Dunn at Colantuono, Highsmith and Whatley in Grass Valley.
