Sunnyside’s Safeway store parking lot has been a hot-spot for car break-ins, but it recently featured in a police operation that ended in felony convictions for two men. SF District Attorney George Gascón: “What made the case so strong was the fact that we were able to identify many other cases that were connected to the same people.”

SF Assessor: Tax Savings for Families

From the Office of Assessor Carmen Chu: Tax Savings for Families

Thinking about passing on property to your children? It is important to know that California tax laws allow parents to transfer ownership to their children (and vice versa) without reassessing the property to market value.

Prop 13 (1978), passed by California voters in 1978, caps yearly assessment increase on a property at 2% or the inflation rate of the California Consumer Price Index, whichever is less. However, if there is a change in ownership, property will be reassessed to market value.

However, if you submit a claim form for Prop 58 tax exclusion, your children will be able to keep your current assessed value on the property and continue to pay property taxes as you would have. This year, we have granted close to 2,000 Prop 58 exclusions for transfers between parent and children. Continue reading “SF Assessor: Tax Savings for Families” →
