New Los Angeles County homeowners are also responsible for supplemental taxes. In addition to annual taxes, they may be responsible for paying supplemental property taxes. Supplemental bills are based on the difference between the prior assessed value and the new assessed value, which is generally the purchase price. This amount is then prorated based on the number of months left in the fiscal year from the date of purchase. If reassessed at a lower value, expect a refund of the difference.
Supplemental tax bills become the new homeowner’s responsibility. A mailed bill by the Treasurer and Tax Collector’s Office occurs approximately six months to eight months after the purchase. If paid late, there will be penalties. If you have lender impounds likely you will be responsible for payment and not your lender. You may view your estimated supplemental tax amount here
