Notice Types

Proposition 13 Value Notice Postcard

This notice is the most common value notice and just shows the assessed value of your property under Proposition 13. This differs from the other Prop 13 notices in that these properties will not have any other value associated with them (personal property, trade fixtures, trees & vines, etc).

Proposition 13 Factored Value Notice

This notice goes out to those whose property is valued at the standard Prop 13 value. These differ from the postcards in that there may be other values or activities involved with the property.

Restoration of Prop 13 Value

This notice goes out to owners whose property value has been restored to it's full Prop 13 value from the temporarily reduced Prop 8 value.

January 1st Value Notice

This notice goes out to owners of parcels whose assessed value is below the market value. See the decline in value page for more information.

January 1st Value Notice (Partial Restore)

This notice goes to those whose property has increased in value, but is still below the Prop 13 threshold.

Land Conservation Act

These notices go out for parcels that are under the land conservation act (LCA) program.

Calamity

The calamity value notice applies to all parcels that are still covered by a calamity exemption claim.

Changed Assessment

This value notice goes out to parcels that had a change to their assessment beyond the inflation factor. The changes could be either due to a reassessment due to a purchase, or the completion of a permit, as well as other assessment activities. Please give us a call and we can review for you.
