Okay, so I got the letter in the mail yesterday informing me that my taxable property tax was reduced.
So I was excited, but then I looked at the other column the "Prop 13 Factored Base Year Value" and it went up.
I read it over and it says that the county is <strong>required to add 2%</strong> a year to my Factored Base Year Value. Is that right? I thought they could only do that if the value of my home went up? You can see a<a href="http://www.ocgov.com/assessor/pdf/2009BlueValueNotice.pdf"> sample of the form</a> I got here.
