                <h1>California Proposition 8 Property Tax Appeal</h1>
                <br><br>
                <p>
                    A <strong>Proposition 8 property tax appeal</strong> in California refers to a request by a property owner to reduce their property's assessed value when the market value has fallen below the assessed value set under <a href="https://www.boe.ca.gov/proptaxes/pdf/lta08018.pdf" target="_blank">Proposition 13</a>.
                </p>
                <p>
                    Proposition 8, passed in 1978 as an amendment to Proposition 13, allows for temporary reductions in property tax assessments when real estate market conditions cause a property’s market value to drop below its assessed value.
                </p>
                <h2>How It Works</h2>
                <ul>
                    <li>The property owner files an appeal with the county assessor or assessment appeals board.</li>
                    <li>If approved, the assessed value is temporarily reduced for that tax year.</li>
                    <li>The assessor can increase the value in later years up to the original Proposition 13 value, plus 2% per year, if the market recovers.</li>
                </ul>
                <p>
                    This appeal must typically be filed during a specific window, usually between July 2 and November 30, depending on the county.
