Abstract:
Oil and Gas mineral rights and associated reserves are subject to California Ad Valorem property taxes just like other real property such as homes, office buildings, and land. The vast majority of these mineral rights are re-assessed annually by local county jurisdictions. The process is similar to other reserves valuation processes such as the SEC but with some significant differences. This presentation provides perspectives and an overview of the assessment process including:
- Who/What is subject to taxation.
- What methodologies are used.
- Which reserve categories are assessed.
- What administrative remedies are available to the taxpayer.
