The Los Angeles County Assessor’s office released its 2015 Annual Report today, finding Long Beach as the second-highest valued city in Los Angeles County, valued at $50.1 billion this year, with a 2.5 percent recorded increase in property value.
The report captures what the county’s property tax system is based upon.
“The 2015 Annual Report will help the public easily find information about Assessor operations and major initiatives, how property values in their city changed in the last year, and much more,” said Assessor Jeffrey Prang in a statement. “This report also includes detailed information on each of the 88 cities in Los Angeles County.”
