California Prop 19, passed by voters in November 2020, allows homeowners who are over 55, disabled, or victims of natural disasters to transfer their property tax base to a new home. This is a significant change from the previous system, which only allowed this transfer for homeowners over 55 or disabled and required the new home to be of equal or lesser value.<\/p>\n

Under Prop 19, eligible homeowners can now transfer their property tax base to a new home of any value, up to three times in their lifetime. Here’s how you can transfer your property tax base in California under Prop 19:<\/p>\n

**1. Determine if you qualify:**
\nYou must be over 55, disabled, or a victim of a natural disaster to qualify for the property tax base transfer under Prop 19.<\/p>\n

**2. Find a new home:**
\nOnce you qualify, you can start looking for a new home to purchase. It can be of any value, unlike the previous restrictions.<\/p>\n

**3. File for the transfer:**
\nYou need to file an application for the property tax base transfer with the county assessor’s office where your new home is located.<\/p>\n

**4. Provide necessary documentation:**
\nYou will need to provide documentation proving your eligibility for the transfer, such as proof of age or disability.<\/p>\n

**5. Calculate your new property tax:**
\nThe county assessor will calculate your new property tax based on the current market value of your new home.<\/p>\n

**6. Enjoy your tax savings:**
\nOnce approved, you can enjoy the tax savings from transferring your property tax base to your new home.<\/p>\n
