Real Property Assessments and Maintaining Proposition 13 Base Year Value
A reassessment of long held real property can force owners to sell. Reassessments are triggered by a change in ownership or new construction. Even if there is a change in ownership of real property, there are exceptions to the general rule that a change in ownership triggers reassessment. These exceptions must be carefully considered when property owners contemplate transferring property either by lifetime gift or by a bequest upon death. Contact the Law Office of Pabst and Staveley for a consultation on the property tax effects of your planned transaction.
