Just listed! This is a beautiful, executive home in the award-winning Cupertino School District. Filled with special touches, this home offers high ceilings, arched windows and entryways, bay windows and an open floorplan. There's plenty of space for entertaining in the gourmet kitchen with eating area opening to the family room. Off the formal entry is a light & bright living room and formal dining room. Travel up the spiral staircase to an open landing with an office or library area. Spacious bedrooms (and a luxurious master suite) grace the second floor. It's a must see!

Initiating a property tax re-assessment

Published by Christine under Real Estate

First, make sure you will be on the benefiting end of the re-assessment process. If you:

- Purchased more than 5 years ago
- Significantly remodelled, added on, or rehabbed the home
- Added additional structures (second home, barn, garage)
- Performed non-permitted alterations

….initiating the process may not be a cost-saving step.

First get a market analysis prepared by a real estate agent who knows the area and can provide current comps to compare to or support your property value. Should the comps prove your assessed value is elevated enough to justify requesting a change, you will need the comps to support your claim.
