If you own property in Los Angeles County or someday hope to, you will pay property taxes. Besides a house or commercial property, you may also have to pay property taxes if you own a boat, airplane, mobile home or business equipment. If you don't understand the property tax laws in the State of California, or how the Assessor's Office determines the value of a property for tax purposes, you're not alone.
That's why one of Los Angeles County Assessor John R. Noguez's top priorities is providing the best in public service: creating outreach programs to inform and educate the public on property tax matters. His approach and programs have been recognized nationally for their success. One project has been making information available through free videos. In addition to watching these videos, you are encouraged to visit the Assessor's website at www.assessor.lacounty.gov for information and to learn the latest in property tax news.
