Effect of Declining Home Values on Property Taxes - 02/15/08 11:43 AM
In California, our property taxes are based upon the purchase price of the home (and are adjusted periodically).  Each time a home is improved/remodeled, the home value is reassessed for property tax purposes and a new tax amount is due.  Tax assessors always seem to be aware when property values increase but what happens when a home declines in value? 
My business is real estate marketing; I am not an active agent so I am not clear on many issues agents face. My question for agents is: 
Are property taxes ever adjusted for declined home values?
