Bob Hope land value protests in Malibu
Los Angeles officials face a new protest from Bryan W. Stevens, a San Marino teacher who helped raise assessments on Governor Ronald Reagan's Malibu land. He claims comedian Bob Hope's 2000 to 3000 acres in the Malibu Mountains is under assessed, suggesting Hope is asking $34 million while the assessor lists fair market value at $7.5 million. Chief Deputy Assessor James R. Vine says properties are generally taxed at 25 percent of market value and notes the Malibu area appraisals support that standard. The board ordered a transcript of Stevens' remarks forwarded to the assessor, with no board statement issued.
