The Assessor's Office is dedicated to ensuring fair and accurate property assessments, which are essential for determining property taxes that fund vital community services.
If you own and occupy your home as your principal place of residence, you may be eligible for an exemption of up to $7,000 off the property’s assessed value, resulting in a property tax savings of approximately $70 to $80 annually.
If a transfer of real property results in the transfer of the present interest and beneficial use of the property, then such transfer would constitute a change in ownership. A transfer can be a sale or purchase, but it also can be a gift or inheritance.
California Revenue and Taxation Code provides that if a calamity such as fire, earthquake, or flooding damages or destroys your property, you may be eligible for property tax relief.
