Help! Tax burning holes in my pocket

I am a retired person in California, aged 67. How do I decrease my property taxes? The amount of tax appears to be increasing year after year, whereas the property prices are falling. The high taxes are burning out my savings too! I need help.

    California?

    Sadly I cannot help you there. You may have to make an appointment with a local tax accountant who may be able to help you. They are not always expensive and may save you a good few dollars.

    If you do find the answer though...we would love to know.

    Good luck ;)
