Bill > AB1517

This bill provides temporary property tax relief for specific areas in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties that were impacted by wildfires in January 2025. The bill suspends various property tax penalties, costs, and interest until April 10, 2026, for properties located in certain ZIP codes within these counties. The relief applies to several types of tax-related scenarios, including supplemental tax bills, penalties for late filing of property statements, delinquent taxes on secured and unsecured rolls, redemption penalties, and installment payment plans. The suspension does not apply to properties that were already delinquent as of January 6, 2025, or properties with taxes paid through an impound account. The bill is designed to provide financial relief to property owners who may be experiencing hardship due to the wildfires, which damaged thousands of homes and displaced over 100,000 residents. The legislation is classified as an urgency statute, meaning it goes into effect immediately to address the immediate needs of affected property owners. If the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill imposes additional costs on local agencies, the state will provide reimbursement for those costs.
