TAX TIPS
San Diego County Assessor/Recorder/Clerk
February 2009
MILLS ACT
Historical Properties
A Historical designation in conjunction with a Mills Act contract can potentially provide a property tax reduction. San Diego is a relatively young town, but many residents are beginning to take notice of one of our most valuable resources, our historic sites and houses. The MILLS ACT, named for San Diegan James Mills, a former State senator, provides an important monetary incentive designed to encourage the preservation, maintenance, and restoration of designated Historic properties. If you have questions on the calculation of the assessed value, please call the Assessor's Office at (619) 531-5002.
