An Easy Way to Apply for a Property Tax Reduction


I had written earlier about the automatic reductions that are taking place in many counties where properties have lost value, including our own Santa Clara County. Larry Stone, the Tax Assessor, will be lowering thousands of assessed valuations.
I also wrote an expose of the scam artists who are sending out letters, offering to help homeowners to lower their taxes for "only" $179, when this can be without charge. A simple form is now available online from the Assessor's Office. If you think you qualify, give it a try.
