Jordan Marks – County of San Diego Assessor, Recorder, County Clerk speaks at The Executives’ Association of San Diego

Key takeaways: (Just to mention a few)

  1. The County of San Diego’s Assessors, Recorder, and County Clerks office has a $90 million operating budget and over 450 staff members.
  2. Issued 23,538 marriage licenses in 2023. Performed 13,188 civil ceremonies by county clerk staff in 2023.
  3. Discussion on “How does Prop 13 work”. If you have any questions please contact Jordan’s office for further clarification. This is a huge property tax savings to any property owner.
  4. Home protection for Seniors, severely disabled, families, and victims of wildfire or natural disaster act. Call Jordan’s office to see if you or anyone you know qualify.
  5. Are you receiving the Homeowners Exemption on your Property Tax bill? When you pay your bill on April 10th, look and see if it’s on your statement. If not, fill out this form https://www.sdarcc.gov/content/arcc/home/divisions/assessor/property-tax-savings/homeowner-exemption.html#v1-b6de1fd137-item-de6731820e-tab and return it to me via email at vog.a1734320597c.ytn1734320597uocds1734320597@skra1734320597M.nad1734320597roJ1734320597 and my team will fast-track your application. The Homeowners Exemption gives you a $7,000 reduction in the assessed value of your residence. Resulting in an annual property tax savings of about $70.00 per year.
  6. Proposition 58/193″Parent to Child Transfers”, Proposition 58/193 “Grandparent to Grandchild, Prop 60Seniors exclusion from reassessment. In 2-21 Prop 19 replaced Parent to child, Grandparent to Grandchild. The new Prop 19 significantly negatively impacts the property taxes that will now be assessed. Call Jordan’s office for further clarification when planning to transfer your property for the most current information.
  7. Upgrade your lifestyle without increasing your property taxes! Are you over 55? You can transfer your current Prop. 13 valuation to a new property in any county in California. I’ve created a brief video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QreOkZFPGZE to give you more information on how to do this, but if you have any further questions please contact me or my team of professional Assessment Staff.
