Are we part of the City of Los Angeles?
No. East Los Angeles is not part of any city, it is an
unincorporated area, meaning that we are a administered by the County
of Los Angeles. East L.A. has no city council, no mayor, and no public
commissions. That is why the plan for Cityhood requires that we incorporate for the first time, instead of seceding like the San Fernando Valley sought to do in 2002.
Will becoming a city increase my Property Taxes?
No. Since 1978, Prop 13 rolled back property taxes/assessments to
1975 market values, which limited the property tax rate to 1%, and
limited future property tax increases. Property taxes cannot be
increased by local government even if East LA became its own city.
Having our own city will foster a renewed sense of ownership and pride
in our residents, thus holding each other accountable for the
beautification of our community. Like in most cities, this may lead to
enhanced property values in our new city!
What about Eminent Domain? Wil the new city automatically use the power of eminent domain to take over my property?
No. Eminent Domain is the power of local, state, or federal
government agencies, such as LA County, to take private property for
public use so long as the government pays fair compensation. East LA
becomign a city does not affect the existing power of eminent domain
and will not be automatically used by the local government. In
addition, the recent passage of Proposition 99 further limits the use
of eminent domain against owner-occupied residences for private
projects by government agencies such as the LA Count yand our proposed
new city of East LA.
Becoming a city will give us the opportunity to elect our own local
government body solely responsible to represent the best interest of
our community. This will give East LA residents the power to
self-representation, self-control, and self-governance.

As we've noticed, many are still under the impression that Boyle Heights is East Los Angeles... it's not :) East Los Angeles ends at Indiana on the side bordering Boyle Heights. And also, East Los Angeles College (despite its name) no longer belongs to East Los, it was annexed in 1974 by Monterey Park :(
