Disaster Relief Exemption

As explained in the video above, if you have recently sustained damage to your property as the result of a calamity, such as accident, fire, earthquake or flood, you may qualify for property tax relief under Revenue & Taxation Code Section 170.

To qualify for property tax relief under Section 170, damage to the taxable property must be at least $10,000 and a disaster relief form must be filed with the Assessor within 12 months of the date of loss.

Qualifying tax relief is given regardless of any insurance compensation.
