Delays on Prop 19 and Prop 58 Claims
In Nov. 2020, California voters passed Proposition 19, which made changes to property tax benefits for families, seniors, severely disabled persons, and victims of natural disaster. Prop 19 and the corresponding implementation deadlines provided significant operational challenges leading to processing delays. We are committed to streamlining Prop 19 and Prop 58 claims, and apologize for any inconvenience homeowners may be facing at this time. Please reach out to us to discuss your claim at 415-554-5596, assessor@sfgov.org, and in-person at City Hall.
Online Orders for Recorded Documents
We are excited to announce our new shopping cart feature for recorded documents. Official records will be available for instant download and certified copies can be ordered online for mail order processing. Through a safe and secure site, you can search, add official records to a “shopping cart” order for payment, and obtain official records instantly via PDF download.
