CAPTA is dedicated to educating property owners about their rights under the California Revenue and Taxation Code.  Some of our associates have worked to provide assessment relief and reduce property taxes since 1989.

Our mission is simple:

  • Enforce our Clients Rights under Proposition 13 and ensure they never pay more property tax than what they are required to pay after applying every conceivable reduction strategy allowed by law.

In most cases our fee agreement is simple as well: You, the property owner receive property tax savings, credits, or refunds–otherwise you don't pay. There are never any up front costs and fees are only due once you have received official notification of your savings. NO SAVINGS-NO FEE!

Over the years our associates have handled cases for a variety of clients and interests which include restaurants such as Del Taco, Sizzler, Honey Baked Hams and Burger King, vacant commercial and residential land projects, shopping centers and retail properties such as Chino Town Center and Blue Jay Village Corp., hundreds of industrial buildings such as the GFS Airport Center located at the Los Angeles International Airport, hundreds of office and apartment buildings, and countless single-family residences Statewide.

CAPTA Can Help

Our team of agents and consultants have helped property owners get through tough times like these back in the 1990's with property tax savings and even refunds. The California Property Tax Appeal system is difficult but fair overall, but accurate taxation is the responsibility of the property owner who has the greatest interest in establishing a fair market value.

CAPTA can give you Property Tax Reduction help and assistance. Now more than ever you need to protect your assets by making wise decisions in a depreciating market. CAPTA has the Agents, Consultants and systems in place and the experience you need to maximize your property tax savings and refunds. Regardless of whether you own residential property, apartments, retail, commercial, industrial or even vacant land, all real estate is subject to valuation for taxation by the County Assessors Office and should be reviewed for a reduction in value whenever possible.
