Harrison - are you having success getting property taxes re-assessed. I know there are cut-off dates for 2009 to apply. many owners are successful in getting a new valuation here. hope business is good for you
James ... thanks for the comment here about California Property Tax Information. We have a number of friends and clients who have requested reassessment, and some have been successful. But that's tricky in CA, and the OC, because assessment office can return later and recapture the difference at one time. I will add information about that later.
People around here focus on age of 55 benefits and Transfer of Base Year Value From Former Residence to Replacement Residence - Orange County and California Prop 60.

Harrison - good post about the California Property tax information. I was just discussing this issue with another professional. Great job!
I applied for a Property Tax Postponement over a month ago and they have still not processed my application. When I called the Comptrollers office they told me that they were backlogged and that if they haven't processed my ap by 12/10, I had to pay my taxes and hope that I qualify for a refund. Is anyone else experiencing such a problem?
