Attention Downsizers in Los Angeles and Orange Counties:  Do you want to sell your big home in one county and buy a smaller home in another California county?

This post is a companion to the earlier post, If You Are Over 55 and Want to Downsize to a Smaller Home You May Be Able to Keep Your Low Property Tax Rate.

If you want to move to a different county, you may still be able to retain your current assessed value for property tax purposes.  Proposition 90 allows downsizing home owners to do just that, if moving between any of these counties:

  • Alameda
  • Los Angeles
  • Orange
  • San Mateo
  • San Diego
  • Santa Clara
  • Ventura

 Want more information about Proposition 90?  Just give me a call or send me an email and I'll send you a copy of a summary of Propositions 60 & 90 in California.
