Am I Able To Transfer My Property Taxes?
The State of California allows for seniors a one time property tax transfer but the Proposition is not honored in all Counties.
Here is some information from the CA state Board of Equalization’s website.
What are Propositions 60 and 90?
Propositions 60 and 90 are constitutional amendments passed by California voters that provides property tax relief for persons aged 55 and over. Implemented by section 69.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code*, it allows these persons, under certain conditions, to transfer a property’s factored base year value from an existing residence to a replacement residence.
Typically the property tax of a newly purchased or constructed residence is based on its current market value upon change of ownership. However, the provisions of Propositions 60 and 90 may result in substantial tax savings since it allows the adjusted base year value of the original (sold) property to be transferred to the newly purchased or constructed home if eligibility requirements are met.
* Section 69.5 also sets forth the provisions of Proposition 110 which allows the transfer of a base year value for severely and permanently disabled persons. Except for the disability factor, the qualifications for Propositions 60/90 are same as Proposition 110.
For more information about how to transfer your taxes visit this link to the Board of Equalization.

How much is an average electric bill in this electric only community?
I have been told Leisure Village homes have no gas and are therefore powered only electrically. So how much should I plan for as an electric bill?
It is true that all the homes run off electric power. It is hard to put a number on your monthly bill because it will vary based on your usage, home size, and type/quality of appliances. Your best resource is to check with Southern California Edison Company at (800) 655-4555. If you call SCE and give them the address of the home you are interested in, they will give you an idea of the past average electric bills. You can also use www.sce.com.
