You may be eligible for tax relief if your property is damaged or destroyed by a calamity, such as fire or flooding. To qualify, you must file an Application for Reassessment: Property Damaged or Destroyed by Misfortune or Calamity with the Assessor’s Office within 12 months from the date the property was damaged or destroyed. The loss must exceed $10,000 of current market value.
It’s advised all taxpayers that are able to pay their taxes, the due date is still December 10th, postmark accepted. At this time there is no general extension of the December 10th due date.
Los Angeles County Application
If you miss the Secured property tax 1st installment due date of December 10th because you were a first responder, or your property was damaged, or because you were evacuated from the fire zones, you can fill out the Cancellation of Penalty form below, for review by the Tax Collector. Documented verification is required to substantiate your claim.
