Local Property Owners Can Seek Tax Relief After Storm Damage

Pasadena property owners with storm or flood damage of at least $10,000 may qualify for temporary property tax relief through Los Angeles County’s disaster reassessment program. The program lowers assessed property value to reflect damage, reducing tax bills until repairs are done. Applications must be filed within 12 months of damage, except for certain fire-affected properties with a 24-month deadline. The relief covers various property types but excludes household furnishings and non-taxed manufactured homes.
