I just called the Santa Clara Tax Collector Exemptions Department. Two things I discovered: 1) We will not get a homeowners tax exemption no-how for 2010. So, we owe the full amount. 2) We'll get the homeowners tax exemption in 2011, but our place will be re-assessed. The guy I talked with says that it's likely that we'll be assessed at a higher value. So, it's hard to say, between the homeowners exemption and the higher assessment value, whether our property taxes will ultimately go up or down in 2011. We'll see.
