    Who is eligible for tax reassessment?
    • The person who owned, possessed, or had control of the damaged or destroyed property in Los Angeles County worth at least $10,000 in an area or region proclaimed by the Governor to be in a state of disaster.
    If eligible, when can I apply?

    Applicants should apply immediately after the occurrence of damage; reassessment can be denied if requested too late.

    What if the tax reassessment results in a refund?

    Should a refund be issued because of the reassessment of the damaged property, you still must pay the annual property tax bill. If the misfortune or calamity damage and restoration occur in the same tax year, you will receive a refund as of the date of damage but will also be issued a supplemental tax bill as of date of restoration. 

    What happens after I am approved?

    Your property may be reappraised, and you may receive a corrected tax bill or refund. The adjustment and proration of taxes will be based upon the reduction in value from the date of damage to the end of the fiscal year. 

    How long does the process take?

    Once we receive the requested information, our team begins gathering information and supporting documentation on behalf of our clients within 5 business days.

    How is this possible?

    Section 170 of the Revenue and Taxation Code of the State of California allows applicants to apply for reassessment of their properties which were damaged or destroyed through no fault of their own.
