Fundamentally, increasing the square footage of living space on your property will call for a reassessment, as will any tweaks and changes that add more than 50% to the value of the home in a single year.
For example, if a property's base value is $500,000 and the owner constructs an ADU that adds $200,000 in value to the property, the assessor may reassess the property's value at $700,000. Property taxes will then be calculated based on the new assessed value.
The Homeowners' Exemption reduces your property taxes by deducting $7,000 from your property's assessed value before applying the tax rate, and given the one percent statewide property tax rate, this generally equates to $70 in property tax savings.
