No Taxation Without
Fair Valuation.
California homeowners overpay millions in property taxes each year. The Tea Act uses Proposition 8 to legally reduce your assessment.
Your Home Lost Value.
Your Taxes Should Too.
In California, your property taxes are based on your home's assessed value — not what it's actually worth today.
If the housing market drops and your home is worth less than what the county says, you're overpaying. Proposition 8 is a California law that lets you request a lower assessed value to match the real market. That means a lower tax bill — sometimes by thousands of dollars.
The county won't do this automatically. You have to ask. That's where we come in.

Common Questions
Answered.
Yes. If your home is worth less today than what the county thinks it's worth, you're paying too much. California law (Proposition 8) says the county has to lower your tax bill to match the real market value. But they won't do it unless you ask — that's where we come in.
It depends on where you live and how much your home's value has dropped. Homeowners in counties like Santa Clara and San Mateo save up to $7,700 per year. Even in more affordable areas, savings of $1,000–$3,000 are common. Enter your address at the top to see if you qualify.
You have two options. Option 1: Pay $80 and we'll generate a professional report with everything you need to file it yourself. Option 2: Choose our concierge service and we handle everything — filing, follow-up, the works. We only charge 50% of the money we save you. If we don't save you anything, you pay nothing.
We'll have your report ready within 48 hours. After you (or we) file with the county, it usually takes 60–90 days for them to process it. Most people see the reduction on their very next tax bill.
If your home's market value has gone down since you bought it — or since the county last assessed it — you probably qualify. This is especially common if you bought during a market peak, or if home prices in your area have dipped. Just enter your address at the top and we'll tell you for free.
100% legal. Proposition 8 has been part of California law since 1978. It's not a loophole — it's a right. The county assessor is required to lower your value when market conditions justify it. Hundreds of thousands of California homeowners use it every year.
Yes — Prop 8 applies to all real property in California. Houses, condos, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, even vacant land. If it's assessed for more than it's worth, you can request a reduction.
