1. Record Growth: The Report  highlights the total net value of $1.997 trillion for the entire county, indicating the 13th consecutive year of growth, as mentioned, and an increase of more than $111 billion (or 5.91%) over 2022 which generates $24 billion in property tax revenue annually
2. Office Initiatives: The report includes the many legislative advancements, the tax resources and tax savings’ programs available, a detailed explanation of California’s property tax system, and the ongoing joint-venture with community colleges that provides a pathway to county jobs.
3. 2023 Assessment Roll Data: The report lists the top 20 highest valued cities in the County for 2023. The top five highest valued cities are the City of Los Angeles at No. 1 with an assessed valuation of $819.6 billion (5.9% increase); Long Beach with an assessed valuation of $74.8 billion (6.8% increase); Santa Clarita with an assessed valuation of $44.8 billion (8.5% increase); Burbank with an assessed value of $31.8 billion (9.7%); and Santa Monica with an assessed valuation of $48.9 billion (5.3% increase).

Assessor Prang also reminds residents the growth does not mean property owners will be subject to a corresponding increase on their annual property tax bills. Most property owners will only see a two percent adjustment prescribed by Proposition 13.
