JEFF PRANG REELECTED:
Good news for residents. L.A. County Assessor Jeff Prang received 57.16 percent of the vote, guaranteeing him four more years. “I am deeply honored and grateful for the confidence that Los Angeles County voters have placed in me,” Prang said. “Serving as County Assessor has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. I am proud of the progress we have made by modernizing this office, improving customer service, increasing transparency, and ensuring fairness for taxpayers.
Prang was first elected to the office in 2014. Under his leadership, the office completed a landmark modernization project that replaced decades-old technology with a state-of-the-art digital assessment system, expanded public access to property information, strengthened cybersecurity protections, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced disaster response capabilities.
Prang also spearheaded efforts to deliver property tax relief to homeowners and businesses affected by the devastating 2025 wildfires, expanded taxpayer outreach programs, strengthened fraud prevention initiatives, and recently secured approval of a Small Business Tax Relief Ordinance that is expected to benefit approximately 43,000 businesses throughout Los Angeles County.
Prang is the first L.A. County Assessor in more than 50 years to earn four consecutive terms.
