Calamity Claims

Section 170 of the R&T code has provisions to adjust property taxes to the current damaged state. If a disaster such as fire, earthquake or flood damages or destroys your property, you should be eligible for property tax relief. The loss must be at least $10,000 of the current market value to qualify the subject property for this relief provision. 

Relief is available to owners of real and personal property which includes business equipment and fixtures, vineyards, orchards, as well as to owners of aircraft, boats and certain types of mobile homes. Any property that is not assessable (such as household furnishings) will not qualify for relief.
