Posted by Ward-CA- on February 25, 2004 at 6:42 PM In Reply to: Getting name on record w/assessor for AD claim posted by Kristine-CA on February 25, 2004 at 4:54 PM : Greetings. Has anyone in CA had any luck adding their name as an assessee on a property for which they are claiming adverse possession? I have a property of which I am in possession and will be perfecting title via a quiet title action. : According to Revenue and Taxation Code 610-a: : "Land once described on the roll need not be described a second time, but any person, claiming and desiring to be assessed for : it, may have his or her name inserted with that of the assessee." : The people at the assessor's office, of course, tell me there "is no such thing" in CA. What thing--a taxation code? Or better, "it is unlikely that one could meet all the criteria." What criteria? Code says "claiming and desiring." Doesn't sound too rigorous to me. : I don't need to have my name with that assessee for the quiet title, but I thought there might be some advantage. : Any experiences or understandings that you'd like to share. Thanks, Kristine : =============== Kristine, I have discovered the tax assessor and tax collector couldn’t care less who pays the annual property taxes. So by December 10th of every year I make sure to pay the annual tax bill on propery I’m adversely possessing. And if you read the adverse possession code of 1872 it doesn't require that you be named as a tax assessee for the property. Hope this helps.
