What are the property tax exemptions available in California?

In California, there are several property tax exemptions, including the Homeowners' Exemption, Disabled Veterans' Exemption, and the Senior Citizens' Exemption. Would you like details on any specific exemption?

Yes, tell me more about the Homeowners' Exemption.

The Homeowners' Exemption reduces the assessed value of your home by $7,000, which can lower your property tax bill. To qualify, you must occupy the home as your primary residence.

How do I apply for the Homeowners' Exemption?

You can apply for the Homeowners' Exemption by submitting a claim form to your county assessor's office. It's usually a simple process and can often be done online.

Are there any deadlines for applying?

Yes, the application must be submitted by February 15th to receive the exemption for that tax year. If you miss the deadline, you can still apply for the following year.
