Property Tax Savings Information Sheets Available

August 25, 2022


On November 3, 2020, California voters approved Proposition 19, The Home Protection for Seniors, Severely Disabled, Families, and Victims of Wildfire or Natural Disasters Act. This proposition has altered the conditions or situations under which property owners may be eligible for tax relief.

Under the Morgan Property Taxpayers' Bill of Rights, the State Board of Equalization's Taxpayers' Rights Advocate has an educational role in providing education and instruction to local taxpayers to promote taxpayer understanding of property tax laws. The Taxpayers' Rights Advocate Office has created Information Sheets to make sure property owners in California know that exclusions and exemptions are available to them.

Tax relief, which equates to property tax savings, may be in the form of an exclusion from reassessment or an exemption of assessed value; but one thing they have in common is they either reduce or entirely eliminate your obligation to pay property taxes on your property.
