On July 1, 1983, Senate Bill 813 amended the California Revenue & Taxation Code to create "Supplemental Assessments." Under this law, reassessments are effective the first day of the month following the date of change in ownership or completion of new construction.
SUPPLEMENTAL PROPERTY TAXES Any time there is a change in ownership or new construction, the Los Angeles County Assessor re-assesses the value. If the property has been reassessed at a higher value, you will receive one or more Supplemental Tax Bills in addition to the Annual Secured Property Tax Bill mentioned above.
In California, all properties are subject to a basic tax rate of 1% based on their assessed value. This value is set by the county assessor when the property is bought or newly built. For example, if your assessment is $500,000, the basic property tax you owe would be $5,000 annually.
Effective for transactions closing after June 30, 2024, the new thresholds for ULA will be $5,150,000 and $10,300,000. Transactions above $5,150,000 but under $10,300,000 will be assessed a 4% tax and transactions $10,300,000 and up will be assessed a 5.5% tax.
An “Escape” Assessment is a correction to a personal property's assessed value that the Office of the Los Angeles County Assessor did not add to any prior year's Annual Unsecured Property Tax Bill.
Unsecured (Personal) Property Taxes are ad-valorem (value based) property taxes that the Office of the Los Angeles County Assessor assesses to the owner of record as of January 1 of each year.
All properties in Los Angeles County are required to be reassessed as of the date a Change in Ownership occurs. In some situations, exclusions from reassessment may apply, therefore avoiding an increase in your property taxes.
