Message from California Attorney Robert Lee Hamilton:

As we all know, property values have taken a deep drop in the past two years. To make matters worst, the counties of California have for the most part been neglectful in the reassessment of homes that have decreased in values, thus causing thousands of properties to be over-assessed.
Reduce Property Taxes Now is intended to be an easy to understand guide that may assist you in obtaining a fair assessment of your home value and a correct tax bill.
 

 

 

Don't be a fool and don't be fooled by your local county assessor.

Where were these county assessors when your property values dropped from January-2006 to January-2007?
Don't believe any county assessor is on your side. By law, the county assessor is the agency that will oppose your appeal for a reduction in your property's assessment. It's the same as being involved in a law suit and taking advice on your case from the opposing attorney.
If your county assessor wanted to lower your taxes, their office wouldn't require you to request a reduction. After all, every county assessor knows (or should know) the value or every parcel of property in their county since they have the record of every sale of real estate and change of ownership due to foreclosure.


 

 

 

 

 

REDUCE YOUR PROPERTY TAXES NOW!

A California Homeowner's Guide

 

If you have purchased your home in the last six years, your California property tax may be assessed at a value higher than what your property is worth, and...

 

YOU ARE PAYING TOO MUCH PROPERTY TAX.

 

 

 

Due to recent real estate de-valuations, hundreds of thousands of California property owners are paying hundreds or thousands of dollars in property taxes on values that no longer exist.

 

However, most property owners have no idea that there is any provision to reduce their property taxes due to the decreased value of their property.

 

Your local county assessor will not send you a notice that your property taxes are set at the pre-housing bust rates.  Each county assessor has no obligation to inform any property tax payer that they are over-paying their property taxes because real estate prices have fallen.  AS PROPERTY VALUES HAVE DROPPED, PROPERTY TAXES KEEP GOING UP.

 

To avoid the avalanche of homeowners complaining about these over-assessments, many county assessors issued statements that they will examine each property's assessment and reset the assessment to the correct current value.  This is obviously a complete falsehood. 

 

Below is an estimate of the number of single-family, owner-occupied homes in the following counties that were purchased within the last four years:

  • Fresno County has over 150,000, Orange County over 550,000, San Diego County over 500,000, Santa Clara County over 295,000, Alameda County over 61,000, Butte County over 10,000, Contra Costa County over 68,000, Kern County over 42,000, Los Angeles County over 288,000, Placer County over 28,000, Riverside County over 158,000, Sacramento County over 80,000, San Joaquin County over 36,000, San Bernardino County over 338,000, Shasta County over 9,000, Solano County over 25,000 single-family owner-occupied properties...

 Even if each county assessor's office had a staff of many hundreds (which they don't), it would be an impossible task to assess so many properties in a timely manner, considering these numbers don't reflect the thousands and thousands of commercial buildings, apartment buildings, businesses, farms and other properties that are required to be assessed each year.

 

By the date you receive your new property tax statement, it’s too late to appeal your assessment.  You have to appeal your assessment within certain appeal dates that are prior to receiving your bill.

 

Your current property taxes were established by the purchase price of your home.  There are no provisions for a decrease in your property taxes, unless you appeal your assessment.

 

Unfortunately, the current tax laws make the process of reducing your property taxes difficult and confusing.

 

That is why we created an easy-to-understand guide which can assist you to:

  • have your property reassessed to its current value, and

  • have your property tax adjusted to the real value of your property

This guide will take you through the laws regarding property tax assessment and the step-by-step process required to apply for a reduction in taxes.

 

It includes each California County Assessor's forms, required evidence of change of property value, and most importantly, the appeals process.

 

The entire guide is written in common language (not lawyer speak) and is easy to understand.

 

Why keep paying hundreds or thousands extra in property taxes when you can have the complete guide for only $39 (plus $10 shipping & handling) and REDUCE YOUR PROPERTY TAX NOW!
