This is a property tax savings program for those aged 55 or older who are selling their home and buying another home. Under Proposition 13, a home is normally appraised at its full market value at the time it is purchased.

This exemption is available to a single homeowner age 65 or older, or a couple filing a joint petition, if either or both are age 65 or over.

You must occupy the dwelling as your principal residence as of January 1 of each year to qualify for the Homeowners' Exemption for that year.

The protected amount is called the “homestead exemption.” All homeowners automatically have a homeowner's exemption, which protects part of their equity from involuntary sales (foreclosures). Recording a declaration of ownership extends this protection to voluntary sales.

Prop. 19 would eliminate a loophole that has allowed the children and grandchildren of original property owners to avoid paying market-value taxes on a property that is not their primary residence.
