San Diego, CA — The 2022 assessment tax roll reflected a \u201cunprecedented property tax savings\u201d of over $260 million for San Diego homeowners, renters, seniors, disabled veterans and small businesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The innovative outreach program, led by Chief Deputy Assessor \/ Taxpayer Advocate Jordan Marks, qualified over 469,962 homeowners\/ seniors for $32.8 million in tax savings and $18.7 million in tax savings for 12,760 San Diego County disabled veterans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Marks led key outreach to affordable housing and homeless service providers that resulted in a record number of 5,254 non-profit entities, saving over $210 million in property taxes for organizations that provide affordable housing, senior low-income housing, homeless services, schools, churches, museums, and other charitable organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chief Deputy Assessor \/ Taxpayer Advocate, Jordan Marks noted, \u201cThanks to the law limiting property taxes on homes, no homeowner should lose their home due to unaffordable property taxes due to the recent skyrocketing home prices. At the same time, corporations are paying their fair share and governments will receive record high revenue from this reliable funding source for the tenth straight year to deliver key services, like schools and first responders.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Marks concluded, \u201cThe 2022 tax roll shows that San Diego County is the gold standard in fairness, transparency, and putting taxpayers first based on a nearly 100% accuracy rating in our assessment practices from a State of California audit and 98.6% positive customer service rating.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

San Diego County Assessor, Ernest J. Dronenburg, Jr. certified the 2022 assessed value roll of all taxable property with a record setting high of $679.15 billion, reflecting an 8.27% increase (or $51.8 billion) over last year. The 2022 assessment roll is based on assessed values as of January 1, 2022. Prop 13 limited 888,884 properties to a 2% assessed value increase \u2013 guaranteeing affordability for property owners and delivering record high revenue for key government services. The roll consisted of 1,011,214 real estate parcels, 55,071 business personal property accounts, 13,410 boats and 1,541 aircraft. The roll\u2019s total net assessed value is $652.95 billion after deducting $26.19 billion for a record high reduction resulting in over $260 million in property tax savings for homeowners, disabled veterans, and charitable organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dronenburg commented, \u201cWhile some Assessor\u2019s offices have struggled, my extraordinary staff closed the tax roll on time and complete.\u201d Dronenburg continued, \u201cIf we don\u2019t close the tax roll on time then county services will be interrupted, taxpayers impacted, and we would see a cascading effect that would impact revenues for operating schools, libraries, parks, and other key emergency services.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
