Secured Supplemental Property Tax

On July 1, 1983, California State Law was changed to require the reassessment of property as of the first day of the month following an ownership change or the completion of new construction. In most cases, this reassessment results in one or possibly two Secured Supplemental tax bills being sent to the property owner in addition to the annual Secured property tax bill.

The Assessor first determines the new value of the property based on current market values. The Assessor then calculates the difference between the new value (set at the time of purchase or completion of new construction) and the old value (set on January 1 of the previous fiscal year). The result is the supplemental assessed value. Once the new assessed value of your property has been determined, the Assessor will send you a notification.

This is the date that the supplemental value notice was mailed to the taxpayer. The taxpayer has 60 days from the date of the notice to appeal the value.

This is the date the tax bill was created.

The date on which supplemental tax bills become delinquent varies depending upon when they are created by the Auditor. If the bill is created between July 1 and October 30, the taxes become delinquent at the end of the business day on December 10 for the first installment and at the end of the business day on April 10 for the second installment. If the bill is created between November 1 and June 30, the delinquency dates, which are printed on the bill are determined as follows: The first installment is delinquent at the end of the business day on the last day of the month following the month the bill was mailed; the second installment is delinquent at the end of the business day on the last day of the fourth month after the first installment delinquency date. Penalties of 10% are added to any installment, which is not paid on time, and an additional $30 charge is added to a late second installment.

This value is the purchase price or fair market value, whichever is greater.
