Our office is almost complete with the initial 2025 tax roll. While this year\u2019s tax roll won\u2019t be final until October, here\u2019s an early look at the 2025 numbers.
The total market value for all properties is nearly $90 billion, which is a 5 percent increase from 2024. This total includes real properties (land and buildings) plus tangible personal properties (business equipment and assets). Of that, the total taxable value is almost $59 billion, which is a 9 percent increase from 2024. The total taxable value is the market value minus caps (up to 3 percent cap for homesteaded properties and 10 percent cap for non-homesteaded properties) and exemptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In comparison, the total market value in 2016 was slightly more than $31 billion, which is a 185 percent increase from then until now. In that same year, the total taxable value was slightly more than $22 billion, which is a 167 percent increase from then until now.
For real property, the parcel count has increased from last year by 3 percent from 163,605 to 168,304. In comparison, that number was 125,101 in 2016, a 35 percent increase from then until now. Throughout the past few years, our GIS Division has processed on average approximately 60 new subdivision plats each year, which has impacted the increase in parcel counts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our office approved 8,471 homestead exemption applications for the 2025 tax year so far. In comparison, 9,972 applications were approved last year, so this year has seen a 15 percent decrease. This year\u2019s number compares to the pre-COVID 2018 number, which was 8,418. The highest number of applications approved was in 2022 with more than 11,540.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The property information at www.sjcpa.gov is published in real time, so all the most up-to-date information is found there. Be sure to review your property information online and also when you receive your TRIM notice in the mail this August, looking closely at the values and exemptions. If you haven\u2019t yet applied for homestead exemption for 2025, there\u2019s still time to apply until the end of the TRIM notice period.
