Jeffrey Prang seeks fourth term as L.A. County assessor

Jeffrey Prang is running for a fourth term as Los Angeles County assessor in the Nov. 3 general election. The nonpartisan office is responsible for assessing more than 2.6 million properties across the county, generating the property tax revenues that fund schools, cities and public services, according to the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund.

Prang faces four challengers in the race, according to the Los Angeles Times. First elected in 2014, he has said he sought the office to serve the public with accountability, accuracy and integrity, to value all property fairly and to modernize the assessor's office, according to his campaign website.

Government reform and office modernization

Prang said he has prioritized modernizing the assessor's office through a $130-million investment in new technology over his three terms, according to the Los Angeles Times. He said the investment has been paying dividends. Prang cited new software that tracks down previously unassessed aircraft and a system he said reassessed thousands of homes destroyed in last year's fires in less than 90 days, delivering tax relief to victims.
