How long owners hold.

The median Prop 13 base year for apartment parcels in 90255 Huntington Park is 2003. A base year resets when a building sells, so an old one usually means the same owner or the same family has held it a long time.

992 parcels, 34%, still carry a base year of 1995 or earlier. The figure for all 255 ZIP codes here is 28%, so owners in 90255 Huntington Park have held longer than the average.

Long-held buildings often pay property tax on a value set decades ago. When they sell, the new owner is taxed on the price, which is part of why rents and expenses on these buildings need a close look before anyone sets a price.
