> is there some tax exemption program in CA for people who qualify to some criteria?

There are exemptions which allow some people (seniors and people with disabilities I think) to be "portable" with their property taxes. I.e they can buy a new property and the taxes of their old property transfer over to the new one..

Thanks, I was aware of that. I'm not in any of those counties, so that can't explain the outlier tax rates on a few houses here being far lower than the tax on them when first constructed.

Might just be errors in the reported data.
