CLAIM FOR REASSESSMENT EXCLUSION FOR TRANSFER BETWEEN GRANDPARENT AND GRANDCHILD OCCURRING ON OR AFTER FEBRUARY 16, 2021 Revenue and Taxation Code Section 63.2 Property Tax Rule 462.520

For transfers occurring on or after February 16, 2021, section 2.1(c) of article XIII A of the California Constitution, implemented by Revenue and Taxation Code section 63.2, provides that the terms "purchase" or "change in ownership" do not include the purchase or transfer of a family home or family farm between grandparents and their grandchildren.

To qualify for this exclusion, all parents of the grandchild, who qualify as children of the grandparents, must be deceased as of the date of the grandparent-grandchild transfer. A stepparent does not need to be deceased.

For purposes of this exclusion, a grandchild is a child of the child of the grandparent. A "child" means any of the following: • A child born of the parent, except a child who has been adopted by another person. • A stepchild, while the relationship of stepparent and stepchild exists. • An in-law child, while the in-law relationship exists. • A child adopted by the parent pursuant to statute, other than an individual adopted after reaching 18 years of age. • A foster child of a state-licensed foster parent. FormA family home must have been the principal residence of the transferor and must continue or become the principal residence of the transferee within one year of the date of transfer or change in ownership. For real property that is sold or gifted, the date of recording of the deed is presumed to be the date of transfer or change in ownership. For real property that is inherited via trust, will, or intestate succession, date of death is the date of change in ownership. For a family home, the transferee must file for the homeowners' or disabled veterans' exemption within one year of the date of transfer or change in ownership. If the exemption claim is filed after the one- ONLYyear period, prospective relief may be available.

A family farm is any real property that is under cultivation or being used for pasture or grazing, or that is used to produce any agricultural commodity. "Agricultural commodity" means any and all plant and animal products produced in this state for commercial purposes, including, Actual but not limited to, plant products used for producing biofuels, and cultivated industrial hemp (Government Code section 51201).

If the assessed value of the family home or each legal parcel of a family farm on the date of transfer exceeds the sum of the factored base year value plus $1 million, the amount in excess of this sum will be added to the factored base year value. Beginning February 16, 2023 and forevery other February thereafter, the $1 million amount will be adjusted by the percentage change in the Housing Price Index for California for the previous calendar year, as determined by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. For further information, please see the State Board of Equalization's website at www.boe.ca.gov/prop19.

Exclusion filing requirements: • For a family farm, this claim form must be completed, signed by the transferor(s) and the transferee, and filed with the Assessor. • For a family home, (1) this claim form must be completed, signed by the transferor(s) and the transferee, and filed with the Assessor; and (2) anSAMPLEeligible transferee must file for the homeowners' or disabled veterans' exemption within one year of the date of transfer or change in ownership.

This claim form is timely if it is filed within three years after the date of purchase or transfer or prior to the transfer of the real property to athird party, whichever is earlier. If a claimAssessorform has not been filed by the date specified in the preceding sentence, it will be timely if filed within six months after the date of mailing of a notice of supplemental or escape assessment issued as a result of the purchase or transfer for which this claim is filed.

If either claim is not timely filed, prospective relief may be available.

This claim form is for transfers occurring on or after February 16, 2021. For transfers occurring on or before February 15, 2021, please file claim form BOE-58-G, Claim for Reassessment Exclusion for Transfer from Grandparent to Grandchild.
