OC Assessor Property Tax Reduction Q & A

To receive FREE comparable sales information to use for your Property Tax Review, we are happy to help you or your friends and family, go to:

Free Property Tax Help - Free Current Home Value Report

YOU WILL THEN RECEIVE YOUR VALUATION NOTICE FROM THE COUNTY IN JULY

If you still believe your property value is incorrect after reviewing your value notice and factual evidence, your next step is to consider filing an assessment appeal. Forms are available at most County Libraries and are in a downloadable format at: www.oc.ca.gov/cob/

YOU MUST FILE BY THE DEADLINE OF SEPTEMBER 15, 2012

What Happens to your Property Tax Values When the Economy Recovers?

As the housing market improves and market values begin to rise, properties that received reduction due to lower market values may see increases above the normal 2% to reflet the actual market value. Therefore, homeowners may experience increases in their properties’ assessed values in future years until full recovery is reached. Although these increases may be substantial, they may never exceed the property’s initial base value plus any added improvements value and a maximum 2% per year CPI inflation factor. The total of these three elements is called the "indexed value." This indexed value remains your actual taxable assessed value.

The good news is…….although assessments will increase, as the market recovers, you were able to avail yourself to temporary reductions during the economic slump. Then your property value will have increased.

Orange County Register says some Orange County Home Sales up 30%

This is part of an article that was in the Orange County Register on February 6, 2012:
Thomas wrote: "Overall, demand, the number of new pending sales over the prior month, is up 15 percent compared to 2011 ... That's the market as a whole, though. For homes priced below $500,000, demand is up an astonishing 30 percent. That's a lot of momentum considering the housing market hasn't even hit its stride with the beginning of the Spring Market right after Super Bowl Sunday. This is more than an encouraging start to 2012; it is a real sign of a much different housing market for 2012."

Orange County #7 in 2011 Price Drop

While nationally, the median list price has been on the rise the last year, increasing 5 percent year-over-year to $188,000, according to December 2011 housing data published by Realtor.com. 

But home prices the past year haven’t been rising everywhere. For example, Detroit continues to face a plague of foreclosures that are bringing home values down in the area. The metro area had the biggest drop in median list prices the past year. 

The following are the cities with the biggest drops in median list prices year-over-year, based on December 2011 housing data of 146 metro markets tracked by Realtor.com.

1. Detroit: -11.01%
Median list price: $80,000

2. Chicago: -10%

Median list price: $189,000

3. Las Vegas: -7.62%
Median list price: $120,000

4. Sacramento, Calif.: -6.98%
Median list price: $199,900

5. Los Angeles-Long Beach, Calif.: -6.37%
Median list price: $324,900

6. Atlanta, Ga.: -6.25%
Median list price: $150,000

7. Orange County, Calif.: -5.53%
Median list price: $425,000

8. San Francisco, Calif.: -4.92%
Median list price: $599,000
