CALDOR FIRE PROPERTY TAX RELIEF AND RECOVERY


NEXT STEPS FOR PROPERTY OWNERS WHO HAVE RECEIVED A CALDOR FIRE VALUE REDUCTION:

If you have received a reduction on the assessed value of your property due to the Caldor Fire, your assessed value will be reviewed annually, starting with the 2023 lien date (1/1/2023).  Value will be restored each year, based on a review of market values and the progress of reconstruction (if applicable).  Please note: the limit to which the value can be restored to in most cases is the Prop 13 trended base year value. See additional information under the reconstruction section. 

 

RECONSTRUCTION OR TRANSFERRING A BASE YEAR VALUE TO A REPLACEMENT PROPERTY:

There are provisions in the law that allow for new construction reassessment exclusions when rebuilding after a disaster or for transferring a Prop 13 base year value to a replacement property for victims of a natural disaster or wildfire.  For additional information on the options available please click HERE.
