After the "intent to sell" notice, a three-year period of redemption begins. Ken can redeem his property from delinquency by paying all back taxes, interest, penalties, and any other applicable fees.
 
After the "intent to sell" notice, a five-year period of redemption begins. Ken can redeem his property from delinquency by paying all back taxes, interest, penalties, and any other applicable fees.

9 of 10 - The Smiths have decided to move to Antigua. They are transferring the ownership of their $950,000 home in Oakland to their daughter, Renee. Renee has heard about Proposition 13 and is nervous about not being able to afford the increase in property taxes. Does she need to worry?
In the state of California, transferring a principal residence of $2 million or less from a parent to a child is considered a transfer exclusion. The property will not be reappraised and the taxes increased.
 
When the property is transferred from the Smiths to Renee, the full cash value for tax purposes will be adjusted to the current market value of the property. This will increase the property taxes considerably.
 
In the state of California, transferring a principal residence of $1 million or less from a parent to a child is considered a transfer exclusion. The property will not be reappraised nor the taxes increased.
None of the Above
You answered incorrectly
The transfer exclusion to Proposition 13 prevents the reappraisal of a principle residence of $1 million or less that is being transferred between parents and children, resulting in no increase in property taxes on the property.
