Property Tax California Style

Rating:
Summary: Great reference guide - a must have!
Review: I work for a Southern California-based property management firm/home builder and we have been looking for a property tax guide for awhile now. I've attended property tax seminars and have not been able to find a good comprehensive guide to help me through my various questions on the subject. Most property tax manuals, I have found, are filled with the complex California tax code or are too broad in their attempt to cover the large area of property tax. With the Property Tax California Style reference book, I believe we have found what we have been looking for.

James Bone, the author, apparently wrote this book with the non-property tax professional in mind. The chapters are laid out in an easy to understand format. The sections covering the various areas are explained very well. For example, we specifically wanted to find out what type of property tax exemptions exist in California and by quickly looking in the table of contents, we found the chapter covering the area.

For a non-property tax professional this book covers all areas of property tax from real estate base year calculations to personal property tax issues. The book can also be useful as a quick reference guide for a property tax professional who wants to polish up on a specific area that they are not too familiar with. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about property taxes in California.
