The Historical Property Contract is a contract between the City of San Jose and the owner of a designated City Landmark. The contract allows the owner to enjoy a reduced property tax rate from the County Assessor in exchange for the preservation, restoration and rehabilitation, of the owner’s historic property. The purpose of the agreement is to
provide greater protection for the City Landmark property than is otherwise provided by the Municipal Code. Reducing Property Taxes with the Mills Act, an article published in the Fall 2003 edition of Preservation Action Council of San Jose’s Continuity Newsletter, explains the property tax reduction further:
