Annual Secured Property Tax Bills are prepared and mailed by the Treasurer and Tax Collector in October of each year. The first installment of your tax bill is due on November 1 and becomes delinquent by the close of business on December 10.
Personal property taxes are deductible when they are based on the value of personal property, such as a boat or car. To be deductible, the tax must be charged to you on a yearly basis, even if it is collected more than once a year or less than once a year.
Under Article XIII, Section I of the California Constitution, all property is taxable unless it is exempt. Each year Personal Property is reassessed as of lien date, January 1st. Personal Property is all property except real estate and can include business equipment, vessels, aircraft, vehicles and manufactured homes.
If there are any remaining unpaid property taxes, and if you did not receive an Annual Secured Property Tax Bill from either the previous owner or the Treasurer and Tax Collector, you may request a copy by visiting ttc.lacounty/request-duplicate-bill.
The Form 571L or 571A constitutes an official request that you declare all assessable business property situated in this county which you owned, claimed, possessed, controlled or managed on the tax lien date. The form is approved by the State Board of Equalization (BOE) but forms are administered by the county.
One way to find the assessed value of your property is to check your county or local government's website, which lists the assessed property values of real estate in the municipality's taxable area.
You can typically find county property tax rates listed on their website or by calling the county department that manages taxation. Example: If your property tax bill is $3,400 and your county's department of finance tells you the real-estate tax rate is 1%, you can see that your assessed value is $340,000.
Put simply, assessed value is the amount your local government thinks your home is worth; it's what is used to determine property taxes. Appraised value, though, is the amount a professional home appraiser thinks your home is worth; it's typically used by lenders when considering a mortgage application.
In order for property to be assessed consistently at a uniform percent of current market value, a reassessment must be conducted each year. This requires that the assessor analyze and evaluate the market, and change, where appropriate, the assessments of properties each year to maintain current market value.
