Riverside County Assessor Revalues Properties

Monday, July 12th, 2010

The Riverside County Assessors Office has, or will, be mailing out notices to more than 400,000 people that their properties have been re-assessed   and devalued for tax purposes.

Properties bought after 1999 were the ones recently re-assessed, including commercial properties and vacant land.

Anyone that believes their property has lost value but didn’t get a notice of a new assessment  can file  a decline in value application,  it’s  FREE online, and you have until September 1, 2010 to file.

If you did receive a notice from the Assessor but don’t agree with it you can file an appeal by filing with the Clerk of the Board online, or call (951) 955-6200.  Time line is July 2nd- Nov. 30, 2010.

How to Prepare for an Earthquake

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Many areas have Earthquakes. In the past week we have had 6 Earthquakes where I live, not aftershocks, but earthquakes. A few of them were scary even though I have lived with them all my life in California. The San Francisco area had one recently also. These are just the ones that I know of. What if an Earthquake happened in your town, would you be prepared?How do you prepare for an Earthquake? What can you do to help prepare your home and your family if an Earthquake struck? What basic items do you need in case of major damage?

Living on the San Andreas Fault in Southern California I know that one of these days the “Big One” will come, and being prepared is important to my mental health, especially after this week.

Here is something I wrote to help everyone that lives in Earthquake Country be prepared. There are important resources and some supplies for a Safety Kit for you and your pets. This article, Earthquakes: How to prepare for one, will help you be prepared, and by being prepared you too will have peace of mind.
