Assessed value (Prop 13)

  • $4,666,5002026 roll · Land base year 2025In California this is not a market value. Under Prop 13 it starts at the purchase price and rises at most 2% a year, so long-held property is usually assessed far below what it would sell for. A recent base year usually means the county reassessed the parcel after a sale or new construction, when assessed value roughly tracks the price paid. It can also reflect a family transfer, a partial interest or new construction, and we haven't checked it against recorded sales in this county. Treat it as a clue, not a price. We don't have tested sale data for this county, so we don't show a price estimate.Los Angeles County Office of the Assessor (LA County eGIS parcel layer) · 2026
