Can I keep my same property tax if I move from Oxnard to Ventura?

Question

Where or how can i calcalate my taxes. I have very low property taxes now, can I keep them the same if i move.

Answer 1

Nope, new town, new property, new tax rate, new property valuation, new taxes.

Answer 2

Only under certain conditions. You (or your spouse) must be over 55. The house that you purchase may not cost more than the selling price of your old house. This is a once in a lifetime benefit for older people who want to downsize after their child en move out. It was granted by California voters as Proposition 60. If you are disabled, the 55 year age limit doesn't apply. One further criteria is that the house must be in the same county, or it must be in a co-operating county. I think Oxnard and Ventura are in the same county.

If you qualify, you should contact the county assessors office and request the proper form. You will need to submit proof of your (or your spouse's) age and proof of the purchase price and the selling price of the 2 houses.

Answer 3

Each town will have their own rates for property taxes. You will not be able to keep you current rates if you were to move to another town. You wouldn't even keep paying the same amount if you moved within the same town as the tax owed is calculated based on the assessed value of your home. Sorry for the bad new, but I hope this helped.

Answer 4

Nope. Property taxes are tied to the property. On top of that, when you buy a new place, the taxable value will be reset to the purchase price and taxes will be assessed on that value. That can result in a MAJOR increase in property taxes. Keep that in mind if you are considering a move.

Answer 5

Property Tax is based on the property you own ... You cannot 'Keep' the same taxes if you move though you could maybe find a place with a similar price range .. This link might help you out .. http://domania.com/propertytax/index.jsp
