Get tax relief for your property

Tax relief is available for damage from natural disasters, for disabled people and seniors looking to transfer their assessed value to a new home. This page outlines certain types of property tax relief.

If you are a property owner, you may be eligible for tax relief under some conditions.

• Market Value Decline or Property Tax Relief
  • California voters passed proposition 8 (Prop 8) in November 1978. This allows a temporary reduction when the market value of your property dips below its factored base year value as of the lien date (January 1st).
• Proposition 19
  • Proposition 19 makes changes to property tax benefits for:
    • families
    • seniors
    • severely disabled persons
    • victims of natural disaster
• Disaster Relief
  • If a major calamity such as a fire, earthquake or flooding damages or destroys your property, you may be eligible for property tax relief.
• Disabled Property Tax Assistance
  • You may qualify for tax assistance if you are disabled.
