Laguna Beach Mills Act Homes

Posted by Sam Smith on Wednesday, July 16th, 2014 at 8:14am.

Laguna Beach has a large inventory of older historic homes that were built at the turn of the century.  Many love these older homes for their historic charm and architectural details.  Others seek these homes out for their tax savings if they are covered under the Mills Act.  So what exactly is the Mills act and how does it save a homeowner money?  First, the Mills Act is an National organization that is set out to preserve these historic homes from destruction and modification.  They work with the state and federal government in lowering a homeowners tax base in care of these homes.  Laguna Beach has a lot of older homes but they are all not on the Mills Act.  A resident must submit an application to the Mills Act organziation to get approved before any tax savings can begin.  Once approved the Mills Act will determine the annual cost for the taxes on the property which are normally a lot less than the normal tax rate in California.

I am planning a move w/in the next few years. It would be nice to have a small, safe area outside for my small dog. I am not interested in any canyon areas and want to walk to beach. Thank you.
