Can I keep the same property taxes if I move?

Propositions 60 & 90  are constitutional initiatives passed by California voters. They provide property tax relief by preventing reassessment when a senior citizen (55+) sells his/her existing residence and purchases or constructs a replacement residence worth the same or less than the original.

They help a person, age 55 or older to "move down" to a smaller residence. When a senior citizen acquires a replacement property worth less than the original property, they will continue to pay approximately the same amount of annual property taxes as before.

 Who Qualifies?  The seller of the original residence, or spouse who resides with the seller, must be at least 55 years of age at the time of the sale.

Proposition 60 / 90 Eligibility Requirements 

•  The replacement property must be the owner's principal residence and eligible for the 

Homeowners' Exemption. The original property, at the time of its sale, must have been eligible for the Homeowners' Exemption, or entitled to the Disabled Veterans' Exemption.
 

•  The seller of the original residence, or a spouse residing with the seller, must be at least 55 years of age, as of the date that the original property is transferred.
 

•  This is a one-time only filing. Proposition 60/90 relief cannot be granted if the claimant, or spouse, was granted relief in the past.
 

•  The replacement property must be purchased or newly constructed within two years  (before or after) of the sale of the original property

 

•  If the replacement is purchased in Los Angeles County, the original can be located in Los Angeles County or any other California county. Several other counties have passed similar Proposition 90 local option ordinances. If your original is in Los Angeles County, and you want to relocate in another county, contact that county for Proposition 90 eligibility. 

•  The owner must file an application within three years following the purchase date or new construction completion date of the replacement property.
 

  Proposition 60/90 relief includes, but is not limited to: single family residences, condominiums, units in planned unit developments, cooperative housing corporation units or lots, community apartment units, mobile homes subject to local real property tax, and owners' living premises which are a portion of a larger structure.
 

•  In most instances, if more than one owner of an original property is eligible for Proposition 60/90, they must choose among themselves which one will use the benefits.

  

•  The replacement property must be of equal or lesser "current market value" than the original. 

What does "equal or lesser value" of a replacement property mean?  The market value of the replacement property as of the date of purchase must be equal or less than the market value of the original property on the date of sale. The meaning of "equal or lesser value" depends on when you purchase the replacement property. In general, equal or lesser value means:
 

•  100% or less of the market value of the original property if a replacement property were purchased or newly constructed before the sale of the original property, or
  

•  105% or less of the market value of the original property if a replacement property were purchased or newly constructed within the first year after the sale of the original property, or
  

•  110% or less of the market value of the original property if a replacement property were purchased or newly constructed within the second year after the sale of the original property.
  

 In determining whether the "equal or lesser value" test is met, it is important to understand that the market value of a property is not necessarily the same as the sale or purchase price. The assessor will determine the market value of each property. If the market value of your replacement dwelling exceeds the "equal or lesser value" test, no relief is available.

 Saugus Area & Saugus Ca. Tract Codes, Santa Clarita Ca. 91350, 91390

Saugus is named after Saugus, Massachusetts, the hometown of Henry Newhall, upon whose land the town was originally built. Santa Clarita spans between the 5 fwy and the 14 fwy.

California Title Rates

As any good Realtor knows even if you are an individual agent you still need a good team behind you (i.e. escrow officer, notary, broker, title officer). I align myself with the very best in their fields. 

My title officer has the best web-site that I can access information 24/7. In fact I call him my 24/ 7 title guy. If you go to his web-site you can get title rates at any time. The web-site has their Fidelity title rate chart geared for title rates in California. 

You can also access forms, information, and a great video to share with clients as to why they need title insurance in the first place.

Being that Realtors work around the clock, I love being able to access title rates over the weekend if I need to do a make swift net sheet for my seller on the fly. 

Hope you find the web-site useful.
