All Qualifying North County Real Estate
|
Encinitas homes, Carlsbad homes, Oceanside homes, Vista homes, San Marcos homes, and Escondido homes are all probable candidates for property tax reassessment. This North County real estate property tax reassessment can take place if your property's value has fallen below its assessed value. You can find your North County home's assessed value in the upper right hand corner of your current tax bill. Persons most likely to get a favorable property tax reassessment of their North County home are those that have purchased in the last few years at the height of the North County real estate market.
Under current law, (Proposition 8) a temporary reduction in assessed value can be made when the current market value falls below the assessed value. This could lead to substantial property tax savings. How much in property tax savings depends on how much your North County real estate is currently overvalued.
Application for Review of Assessment

Filling out the county's "Application for Review of Assessment" will allow the county to determine if a reassessment is possible. You will be asked for several comparables of North County homes that you believe are similiar to yours and that have sold for considerably less that yours. Gary Harmon, your North County Realtor, will be glad to provide you with comparable sales of Encinitas homes, Carlsbad homes, Oceanside homes, Vista homes, San Marcos homes, or Escondido homes along with sales dates, sales prices, and parcel numbers that will be needed to fill out the application for property tax reassessment.
North county property owners that fill out the County's application and file by May 30, will be notified in early July of the results of their request. If any North County real estate owner disagrees with the County's value, they can file a formal assessment appeal. That appeal would have to be filed with the Clerk of the Assessment Appeals Board between July 2 and November 30.
