What is a 3 year parent - child exclusion for tax purposes?

Is this in California? Under Prop 13, transfers between parent and child do not trigger an adjustment in the assessed value for property tax purposes.

do NOT sign over any property over to him - especially if you are entitled to half - you might lose your interest in it forever

three yr exclusion on property tax?


you probably need to contact your county assessor's office
