Overview

The Broadmoor Police Protection District contracted NBS (A public finance consulting firm) and HdL (A property tax analytics/audits firm). Both firms ensure all areas receiving police services are properly included within the District’s official tax boundaries and that revenues are collected fairly and accurately.

Who is NBS and HdL

NBS is engaged by the Broadmoor Police Protection District to provide financial, administrative, and tax‐related consulting services.

HdL (HdL Companies) is a firm that provides revenue, tax, and license administration services, compliance and auditing solutions, and operational support to public and local government agencies.

Jurisdiction and Boundary Findings

Using GIS mapping and historical service call data, NBS compared the District’s official boundary lines with the actual area served by Broadmoor Police.
The analysis found that **76 parcels** currently receive police services but are **not included in the County’s official Broadmoor Tax Rate Areas (TRAs)**.

These properties are primarily located along **Junipero Serra Boulevard, 88th Street, Bradley Drive, and Beechwood Drive** and **F Street. Although Broadmoor officers respond to incidents in these areas, they do not currently contribute to the District’s property tax revenue.

Revenue Impact

Based on the materials reviewed, HdL’s engagement with the Broadmoor Police Protection District (“District”) encompasses specialized revenue administration and compliance services designed to optimize the District’s tax base within its defined geographic boundaries and associated Tax Rate Areas (“TRAs”). HdL’s work involves the analysis and reconciliation of parcel data within those TRAs to ensure that all properties located within the District’s jurisdiction are properly classified and assessed in accordance with applicable laws governing special districts. By auditing assessment rolls, identifying non-compliant or misclassified parcels, and coordinating with County Assessor and Auditor-Controller offices, HdL seeks to correct errors that have historically resulted in revenue leakage. These corrective measures have a direct and material impact on the District’s fiscal position by ensuring that all taxable parcels within the special district’s geographic boundaries contribute equitably to the funding of police services. The cumulative effect of HdL’s efforts strengthens the District’s long-term revenue stability and compliance posture, thereby supporting sustainable public safety operations and the lawful administration of special tax assessments.
