What & Where is Rancho Mission Viejo?

Spanning 23,000 acres, Rancho Mission Viejo is the largest new community in California. Approximately 75% of The Ranch is preserved open space known as The Reserve at Rancho Mission Viejo. The remaining 25% is identified for the phased development of multiple villages over the coming decades. It is an inter-generational community and at build-out, up to 6,000 of the homes planned for Rancho Mission Viejo will be “Gavilán” homes designated for people age 55 and older. Rancho Mission Viejo is on the list of the 20 topselling master-planned communities in the nation!

As an inter-generational community the villages of Sendero and Esencia feature new-home floor plans that appeal to key home buying groups including Millennials and the 55-plus crowd who desire space for entertaining, carefree and low maintenance yards, free-flowing indoor-outdoor areas, and distinctive Napa-inspired farmhouse interpretive architecture that’s fresh and authentic to The Ranch. And, all homebuyers will enjoy the impressive list of amenities on The Ranch, including expansive clubhouses, small retreats, event bars and pools to enjoy, and interconnecting pathways to walk and trails to hike – all surrounded by acres upon acres of protected open space. In addition to all the amenities on the ranch Gavilán home owners will have amenities, pools, and clubhouses exclusive to Gavilán home owners.

Prop. 60 allows the transfer of base-year property values within the same county.

Prop. 90 allows transfers from one California County to another.

Prop. 110 allows transfers for severely and permanently disabled property owners within the same county and from one California County to another.

Transfer of Property Taxes (California Residents) How do Props. 60/90/110 benefit the homeowner?

They are all property tax savings programs for owners’ age 55 or older, or severely and permanently disabled, who sell a home and buy another of equal or lesser value. Under Proposition 13, a home is appraised at its full market value at the time it is purchased. Props.

60/90/110 allow the taxable value on the original home to be transferred to the replacement home. That prevents any increase in property taxes when the new home is appraised.
