Yes. Through the Office of the Assessor/Recorder you can apply for the homeowner’s property tax exemption, veteran’s exemption, or church and welfare exemption. These programs allow for assessment exemptions which result in tax savings. For further information, contact the Office of the Assessor/Recorder at (415) 554-5596. The State of California’s Property Tax Postponement program was suspended effective February 20, 2009. Funding for the Homeowner and Renter Assistance (HRA) Program was removed from the state’s 2008-2009 budget. Please select our Assistance Programs page for current information on these programs.
