Senator Nilo’s bill would let counties extend 5-year window for disaster property tax transfers At a California State Senate committee hearing, Senator Nilo presented SB 1053 to allow county boards to extend the five-year period for transferring a property’s tax base year value after a governor-declared disaster by up to three years (for disasters declared on or after Jan. 1, 2026 through Jan. 1, 2031); the committee voted unanimously to advance the bill to Appropriations.
