Q: Can my stepparent be considered my parent to qualify for the parent/child exclusion from reassessment?

A: Yes, if certain conditions are met. Specifically, if your stepparent survived your parent, and then died without ever remarrying, that stepparent could leave you his or her primary residence and the County Assessor will in fact consider that stepparent your “parent” for purposes of qualifying for the parent/child exclusion!
