We had this discussion on the forum many months ago.
Here, I used the multi-quote to remind us of the conversation we had in April.
Coincidently, it was April 15th that we were talking about taxes.
that is sweet jake.....i just wish i didnt buy at the PEAK of the market, my house is now valued less then what i bought it for.
Cesar are you going to get your hosue reassed to reduce property taxes? I got a letter in the mail offering $100 bucks to do it which would deffinitly save me more then that in the long run. I know you boguth close to when i did also?

I believe the word is 'reassessed', but your version is much funnier.
That "Reassessment" is actually a scam. The county does not charge residents to re-assess their property. Don't fall for the junk mail that gets sent to home owners. I got the same letter, and it even looks official.
What you're looking for falls under Prop #8 (Prop 8 - Review Due to Decline in Value Facts)
You can apply to have your house reassessed. The letter you got, is a group that charges you $100 to fill this out for you. I'll only charge you $50. (See, you're already saving money)
http://www.co.san-bernardino.ca.us/assessor/Decline.asp
FYI - The only time your property value is important is when you want to sell or refi.
If I remember correctly, you got a pretty good loan, and a refi wouldn't improve it, so unless you're looking to sell, home value means nothing. In 10 years when you house is worth 50-75% more than you paid, today's value won't matter.

Loren, Casey just re***ed his house. There is some paperwork and some work involved....but very manageable and definetly nothing that is a brain buster.
I beleive he siad that he wrote a letter to the city asking for a new tax, and he had to indicate what he thought his property was now worth, with proof as to that price (examples of similar homes selling in the area, etc.).
I would have no reason to do this with mine...as it is most likely valued much higher than what we bought for.

Funny . . .I got a buddy runnin comps for people at $50-100.
You just fill out the paperwork and send in the comps, then they come verify the houses existance and lower your taxes owed
Now for someone who spent $500,000 or more on their house, and lives in a heavy taxed area, this could be good. But for a small change, you wouldn't notice the difference financially for a long time. (but if you keep it, it is lower taxes forever)

Loren, they assign property taxes based on the value that you bought the home for....and they are able to raise these taxes by a set amount each year (what is it, up to 2%?).
I bought my home at 235k....and that is what I pay taxes on. The house is worth more than that, but I am still paying on what the house was worth at the time I bought it, as that was market price at the time. They continue to raise my taxes to try and adjust my taxes for what my property is actually worth now.
Now in the case of the other scenario, the one where you, Cesar and Casey are. You all bought at the peak, bought homes at market value (at the time) and are paying taxes on that amount......but your homes are not at that same value, so you are overpaying on taxes.
You can have a reassessment done, to get your taxes and home value aligned...so they are equal. The county can then increase your tax each year based on this new amount....and not what you are currently paying.
It would make no sense for me to have them reassess my property taxes...as I would have to pay significantly more than I am right now....
...and as Cesar said, house value means nothing unless you are a seller or buyer. We're staying put for quite some time. No need to even think about moving, except to get out of the fricken wind.

Simple answer - YES, at the date of purchase, or when it was last assessed
Think about granny who has been livin in the same house she bought back when it was $23,000
Now the cool part is you can transfer your tax fees 1 time. So if you move within the state, you can keep the same tax amount you are paying on that $23,000 house. (riverside county excluded, don't ask)
This is what allows granny to move. Because living on a fixed income, there is a HUGE difference between 1.1% of that $23,000($253) compared to 2.3% of $400,000 if she moved. ($9200)

Not really showing. I just don't like Deja Vu.
BTW - I just downloaded Google Chrome.
It's a new browser by Google.
It looks very simple so far, but I kind of like it.
If anyone wants to check it out, here's the link.
http://www.google.com/chrome
It's pretty quick at loading pages.
Plus.....
When you're typing in the forum, it has a built-in spell check!!!

front looks ok to me
cesar i found this online
"I E-MAILED AUTO CLUB SPEEDWAY PRESIDENT AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAID.
The parachutist was tangled in his parachute so he cut it loose and used
the back up just to be extra safe. It was only his chute that fell
behind the billboard, that's why you haven't read anything. Just
standard protocol for those guys. They seemed completely unphased as if
it's a relatively frequent occurance. I had never seen it before
either.
HOPE THIS HELPS"
...as for google chrome looks nice but possibly missing some features?

Plus I have google alerts setup for Sprint and HTC.
BTW - I've been looking at a different phone.
Hoping it will be available in CDMA format (Verizon/Sprint format)
The Samsung Omnia. It runs WM6.1 and had 16gb internal plus a micro sd slot.
GPS, 5mp camera, and tons of other options. Also, it's DIVX certified. It will play any video format, no problem.

Check it out.

hahahahaha.... $17k for 2 seats!! $17k for an exhaust and diffuser!!! lmao
the $20k for the wheels, tires, and electronic suspension is still overpriced, but is definently the best "deal" of the 3

.... I think he is down to just 1 now... and its one that is up for sale. (no plans to make it run..... I think he is done with rotarys... for now)
I miss seven stock at the old location. I had a blast at seven stock 6, 7 and 8.
when they moved it for 9, it was just not the same. now not owning a rotary, and the new location, I am not that intrested in going any more... then again, part of me wants to go since I missed 10, would be nice to see all that rotary power again. though it would make me want to go buy anohter rotary, and right now, thats not what I need.
