Just opened mine and it has gone up almost $900 this year (Higher than it ever has been since 2007). An increase of about 23%.  Was surprised that they raised it so much, thought I'd see if everyone was having the same experience. Thanks!

If you don't mind my asking, was it one particular part that went up?  I'm not looking at my tax bill right now, but there's county, city, Folsom Cordova and one or maybe two other designations I can't remember right now.

I don't have my last one to compare it against right now, but it looks like they've just reassessed the value so the county 1% has gone up. The assessed value went up to 396,000 when our broker just told us it would appraise for 360,000. Not sure how that corresponds.

 It might be worth looking into.  Mistakes do happen, e.g.,  all those property owners in Rancho Cordova that were taxed for fire insurance they didn't receive.

I do not think <10% change of the assessed value from last year could cause a $900 increase in your tax.  I would definitively check into this.

 

On the note about the broker appraisal- since it is lower than your assessed value by the county you might look into having the country do a reassessment...


Another great  day in the adventure of exploration and sight.

Ours came in the mail yesterday as well. Looking at it line by line, county wide 1% went up by $260, which corresponds to the increase in assessed values. Everything else (San Juan Unified GOB, Folsom City GOB, and Los Rios Coll GOB all went down slightly. So, our overall bill increased by a little over $160.

The assessed value went up almost $100k. about 23%. (which amounts to a little over $900 annually with the 1%). I don't think it's an accurate assessment, I'll have to look into it. It seems like other's are experiencing large increases too though, so maybe it's trying to get back to values before the recession.

So . . . . one thing to look into.

 

You may have had a Prop 8 (1978) adjustmnet (downward) in the past few years.  Proposition 8 mandates that local governments conduct "decline in value" reviews when real estate markets drop (and review is requested).  With the signifcant decline in real estate values over the past several years - many counties conducted the reassessments and many folks saw their property tax bills go down with falling home prices.

 

While assessments under Prop 13 are limited to 1% of assessed value and can only increase 2% per year - if you've had a Prop 8 reduction - there is no cap on how fast your property tax can increase until it reaches the prior Prop 13 value.  So - If you previsouly paid, lets say, $5,000 / year in property taxes, and the Prop 8 decline brought you down to, say $4,000 for the past couple of years - once home values increase - as they have in Folsom - if your home gets back to its original value (or more) - in that next year your property taxes can go back up to $5,000 that year.  Yes - that would mean a $1,000 increase that year.

 

Here's more on Prop 8 adjustments:

Not sure if that's your case - but I'm sure lots of folks are waking up to the readjustment . . .

I had dinner this summer with a gentleman who does the assessments for another county. When I said something about having gotten a successful reduction a few years ago he said, hang on to your hat because the counties have been instructed to review and increase the values as much as they can to increase the taxes.

I am personally glad that they finally made a change to Prop 8.
