Terms of service
This page covers use of the website. What governs an actual case is the Assessment Reduction Filing Service Agreement you sign separately; if the two ever conflict, the service agreement controls. You can see where in the process that agreement appears on the how it works page, before you sign anything.
1. Who we are
Fortunewoods LLC, Not provided, Not provided. Phone Not provided, email Not provided. We do not yet hold a Tax Agent Registration Number under LA County Code 2.165. We are not a government agency and we have no affiliation with one.
2. What this site does
- It estimates the value of a Los Angeles County condo unit from public data. An estimate is not an appraisal, not legal advice, and not a promise about the outcome.
- It runs a filing service for Prop 8 assessment reductions: the valuation, the evidence packet, and RP-87 and AAB-100 completed up to the signature line. Whether we also sign and submit as your agent depends on the registration status stated in section 1; without a registration number, you sign and submit. The service agreement sets out exactly what that covers.
3. Fees
Our fee is contingent; the rate is on the pricing page. Under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §17537.9(c), we may not charge, demand, or collect anything from you until the application has been filed with the Assessor or with the clerk of the assessment appeals board. This site has no payment page at all.
4. Authorization
Before we file anything for you, we have to hold your signed written authorization, and a true and correct copy of it goes in with the application (§17537.9(e)). We keep the original for three years, and you can download your copy from your case page at any time. Under Property Tax Rule 305(a)(1)(B), an authorization covers at most 4 consecutive calendar years and cannot be backdated. You can revoke it in writing at any time.
5. What you are telling us
- You own the property, or you have authority to sign for the owner. If you are signing for a trust or a company, we will need the document that gives you that authority.
- What you give us is true. The certification block on form EXM-202 is signed under penalty of perjury:
“I certify (or declare) under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California”LA County Assessor form EXM-202
- For the same assessment year and the same parcel, you have not also hired someone else to do the same thing.
6. What we will not do
- We will never ask for, and never use, your login, password, or PIN for any government portal.
- We will not sign in to any government system as you.
- We will not give anything of value to the Assessor or to any county official.
- We will not give legal advice or tax planning advice.
- We will not promise that an assessed value is going to come down.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability for this service is capped at the fees you have actually paid us on that case. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential loss. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.
8. Disputes
These terms are governed by California law. Disputes go to a court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles County.
9. Changes
We may update these terms. A service agreement you have already signed does not change because this page did — the version that binds your case is the one you signed.
