This bill died with 2013-2014 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Assembly” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law requires county boards to meet to equalize the assessment of property on the local roll, as provided, and authorizes a taxpayer, represented in some circumstances by a property tax agent, to apply to a county assessment appeals board for an assessment reduction under a variety of circumstances, including for a reduction of the base year value, as defined, of real property. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to improve the tax appeals process and create transparency by establishing a public registration process for property tax agents.
