Property Tax Reassessment

Have you purchased property during the past few years?  Is the current market value less than your current assessed property tax value, the Proposition 13 value?  If so, the Law Offices of Bree Celeste Winterbotham can help you reduce your property taxes.

The recent economic downturn in our economy has caused each of us to look for ways to save money.  With property values declining up to 50% in certain areas, you may be entitled to save thousands of dollars in property tax annually.  Utilizing Proposition 8, property owners are entitled to a taxable value reassessment based on a property’s current market value, assuming it is lower than the existing Proposition 13 value.

The Law Offices of Bree Celeste Winterbotham represents individuals to ensure their property tax assessed value reflects the current market value of their properties.  Our firm will have its professionals complete a detailed property analysis, including an analysis of comparable properties, before submitting your property tax reassessment to ensure that your potential property tax savings is maximized.  Utilizing current California laws, we will work for you to ensure proper filing and processing of your Proposition 8 property tax reassessment request.

Types of Properties Eligible for Reassessment

  • Single Family Homes
  • Multi Family Units
  • Shopping Centers
  • Commercial Properties
  • Hotels
  • Condominiums
  • Vacation Resorts
  • Industrial Properties
  • Gold Courses
  • Land

Fees

The Law Offices of Bree Celeste Winterbotham will conduct a property evaluation, free of charge, and make a preliminary determination if your property is eligible for reassessment consideration.  Please call 1-949-200-7336 ext. 704 or simply click the link below to get started.

Property Tax Evaluation Form

Set Up Fee - Once we determine that your property fulfills our eligibility requirements, we charge a one-time $25 comparable property evaluation and case setup fee. This fee must be submitted along with a signed copy of our Fee Agreement to begin the process and retain our offices for the purpose of conducting a Proposition 8 taxable value reassessment.

Assessment Reduction Fee (ARF) – If we are successful in reducing your property’s assessed value we charge ½% (0.05%) of the total reduced amount.  This is a one-time fee, however your tax savings will continue until your property appreciates to a higher value.

Example: Current Assessed Value
New Assessed Value
Reduction
 
$500,000
$400,000
$100,000 x 0.05% = $500 ARF
Your Annual Savings, Using a 1% Tax Rate Will Be $1000
If it is determined your property does not qualify for a value reduction, you do not pay the Assessment Reduction Fee.  If you wish to submit a new request for the next taxable year, we will waive the case set up fee.

Appeal

If the county tax assessor rejects the application for reduction and our office determines that there is merit for an appeal, The Law Offices of Bree Celeste Winterbotham will appeal your case to the assessor on your behalf.  You will not be charged anything for the appeal other than the Assessment Reduction Fee if your property’s assessed value is reduced.
