Property Tax Relief Under California law, if your property, your home or business, has been damaged or destroyed by fire, you may qualify for property tax relief under the Misfortune & Calamity (M&C) program. This program allows my office to reduce the assessed value of your property, which is what your property taxes are based upon, to be reduced to reflect the damage. Here are the key details to the M&C tax relief program:
The filing of this claim also facilitates coordination with the Treasurer and Tax Collector, allowing taxpayers who pay property taxes directly, not through an impound account with a mortgage lender, to defer their current year property taxes without incurring penalties. Once the tax roll is updated, the Auditor-Controller will recalculate the taxes. If you are due a refund, it will be issued, or if taxes remain owed, an adjusted bill with new due dates will be sent. For questions contact assessor.lacounty.gov or call us at (213) 974-3211. The direct link to LA Counties Assessor Disaster Relief page: http://assessor.lacounty.gov/disaster |
