Property Tax Savings Programs: Calamity Relief

 

If a calamity such as fire, earthquake or flood damages or destroys your property, you may be eligible for property tax relief, provided the loss exceeds $10,000. In such cases, the Assessor's Office will reappraise the property to reflect its damaged condition. If the property is rebuilt in a like or similar manner to the original, the property will retain its previous value for tax purposes.

 

Deadline

 

To qualify for property tax relief, you must file a calamity claim form with the Assessor's Office within one year from the date the property was damaged or destroyed.
