/// COMMON QUESTIONS · 126 PALMETTO DR

The short answers.

When did 126 Palmetto Dr last change hands?

The most recent transfer on the roll was recorded December 2004. Not every recorded transfer is a market sale — refinances, trust transfers, and family conveyances all appear in the same field, and those do not reset the assessed value.

What is 126 Palmetto Dr assessed at, and is that what it is worth?

The current assessed value is $113,995 ($113,995 land). Assessed value is not market value. Under Proposition 13 it resets only on a change of ownership and then climbs about 2% a year, so a long-held building is often assessed far below what it would trade for — and this one has held its base year for roughly 29 years.

Would the owner of 126 Palmetto Dr face a big tax bill on a sale?

Possibly. A base year going back roughly 29 years usually means a low tax basis, and a low basis means a large taxable gain on a straight sale — capital gains plus depreciation recapture, with California taxing gains at ordinary income rates. It is also why long-held buildings so often sell through a 1031 exchange instead, or pass through an estate for the step-up in basis.

How do I find out what 126 Palmetto Dr would sell for today?

Public records give you the frame — units, size, age, assessed value, when it last traded — but pricing needs in-place rents, expenses, and the condition of the units, none of which appear in county data. A broker valuation puts closed comps and a rent survey against the actual rent roll. Shaya Lowenstein does that free for LA multifamily owners, typically within 48 hours, with no obligation to list.
