Prop 19 Has Two Doors. Here's Which One Is Yours.

A free guide that cuts through Prop 19 confusion: who it helps, when it helps, and whether it helps you, whether you inherited a home in California or you're 55 or better and ready to move.

You're sitting on a home, whether it's the one you inherited or the one you're finally ready to leave for something that fits your life better. Either way, Prop 19 put a real number and a real clock on what happens next. This guide shows you which door you're in, the deadlines attached to it, and what it's worth in dollars if you get the timing right.

Nobody Mentioned The Clock.

"Wait, there's a deadline on this?"
The rules changed in 2021, and they run on their own clock. One year to file the exemption if you're keeping the family home. Two years to sell and buy if you're moving with your tax base. Nobody sends a reminder, and the months in between don't come back.
None of this means you did something wrong. It means nobody told you the rules had a shot clock built in. You have time to get it right, starting now.

Your First Real Answer.

The guide replaces the guessing with a sequence: which door applies to you, what has to happen by when, and what the number actually is. You don't need to have your five year plan figured out yet. You need to know which door you're in.

01
Know Which Door You're In

Whether you inherited the family home or you're 55 or better and ready to move, plus the exact value limit and percentage tiers that apply to your door.

02
Race The Clock Before It Runs Out

Every deadline in this guide already started running, whether you've filed anything or not, and missing even one means paying the full reassessed tax instead of the discounted one, for good. The guide tells you exactly which clock you're on and how much runway you actually have left.

03
See The Real Number, Not A Guess

A full worked example for each door, so you can estimate your actual taxable value instead of guessing at what the county will use.

04
Avoid The Six Ways People Get Burned

Including the one play that uses both doors, for families who want to carry a low tax base across two generations and three moves.

Questions Families Ask First

What is the Prop 19 Guide?

A free guide from Scott Stollar, C.A.R. Certified Probate and Trust Specialist, that walks you through both sides of California's Prop 19: keeping the family home's tax base if you inherited it, and taking your tax base with you if you're 55 or better, disabled, or lost a home to disaster and you're ready to move.

Who is the Prop 19 Guide for?

Anyone dealing with property tax under Prop 19 in California: someone who inherited a home from a parent, or a homeowner who is 55 or older, severely disabled, or lost a home to a wildfire or declared disaster and wants to move without losing their tax base.

What's the deadline to file under Prop 19?

Both doors run on their own clock, and it starts the moment your situation changes: the date of death for an inherited home, or the date you sell for a move. The guide breaks down exactly which clock applies to you and how much time you actually have left.

Does renting out an inherited home affect Prop 19?

Yes. A rental or vacation home doesn't qualify for the exclusion, and if you take the exclusion and later rent the home out, it can trigger a reassessment. The guide covers exactly what counts as occupying the property so you don't find out the hard way.

Can I use Prop 19 more than once if I'm over 55?

Yes, up to three times for age or disability, even if you already used the old one time transfer under Propositions 60 or 90. The guide walks through the value tiers and the window you have to make the move work.

Is the Prop 19 Guide really free, and is there a catch?

It's a free download, no catch. I give it away because families and homeowners need real answers before they need a real estate agent, not the other way around. If you want help applying it to your exact numbers, that's what the complimentary strategy session is for.

Why I Give This Away

I don't give this away to pressure you into selling, moving, or filing anything before you're ready. I give it away because when someone is racing a Prop 19 deadline, they need the real rules, not a sales pitch. Get the guide, see which door is yours, and if you want help running your exact numbers, I'm here.
