• check_property_tax_savings

  Free check of whether a California home qualifies for a Proposition 8 decline-in-value property tax reduction. Returns a status (qualifies, fair_assessment, not_enough_data, not_residential, window_closed, county_not_served, already_filed, address_not_found, needs_more_info, busy), the current assessment, our opinion of value from recent comparable sales, and the estimated annual savings. When the property qualifies, the result includes a continueToken for start_filing. Checking is free and can only ever lower a tax bill, never raise it.

• start_filing

  Start a county filing for a property that qualified in check_property_tax_savings. Prepares the county's own review form and emails a signing link to the OWNER'S email address. The link is never returned here: the owner personally reviews, signs, and pays a flat $29 before anything is filed. Requires the continueToken from a qualifying check (valid 24 hours).

• get_filing_status

  Coarse status of a filing by document id: awaiting_signature, awaiting_payment, filed, delivered, or unknown. Returns no personal information, addresses, or amounts.
