Mills Act Program Workshops
The City of Long Beach is now accepting applications for the Mills Act Property Tax Abatement Program (Mills Act). As a property owner of a designated historic landmark or home located within a historic district, we would like to invite you to a end two important events to learn about how you may qualify and apply to receive economic incentives for the restoration and preservation of your property:
1. Pre-Application Workshop: Saturday, March 3, 2018, at 10:00 am at the Silverado Park Social Hall located at 1545 W. 31st St.
2. Application Workshop: Saturday, March 17, 2018, at 10:00 am at the Burnett Neighborhood Library Community Room, 560 E. Hill St.
The Pre-Application Workshop will feature an overview of the Mills Act and discuss eligibility requirements. The event will also review the process for preparing an application and calculating individual property tax savings. The Application Workshop will provide more specific information geared toward those interested in proceeding with the application process.
All potential applicants or their representative must attend the Pre-Application Workshop. Mills Act applications are processed once per year, during the application period. The deadline to submit an application is Friday, March 30, 2018. Every tax situation is different, but the Mills Act is commonly of great value to those who recently purchased a historic property or those who have a high tax burden due to a recent transfer or reassessment. There are currently 58 properties with Mills Act contracts in Long Beach.
