Propositions
60 & 90 provide
property tax relief
by preventing reassessment
when a senior citizen
sells existing residence
and purchases or constructs
a replacement residence
worth the same or
less than the original.
The seller of the
original residence,
or spouse who resides
with the seller,
must be at least
55 years of age
at the time of the
sale. The replacement
property must be
purchased or newly
constructed within
two years before
or after of the
sale of the original
property. The seller
must claim this
relief within three
years of purchasing
or completing new
construction of
the replacement
property. This is
a one-time benefit.
Proposition 60/90
relief cannot be
granted if the claimant,
or spouse, was granted
relief in the past.
If the replacement
is purchased in
Los Angeles County,
the original can
be located in Los
Angeles County or
any other California
county. Several
other counties have
passed similar Proposition
90 local option
ordinances. If you
want to relocate
in another county,
contact that county
for Proposition
90 eligibility.
