inheriting property tax

[bethers]

My grandmother owns her home. No mortgage. My mother is the executor of the will. When my grandmother passes away, my mom wants my husband and I to be able to have the home and keep the tax base that it is at now. What are the laws regarding inherting a tax base?

I would say that it depends on you local laws, but don't count on being able to do this. If the property changes hands, they will likely do a new tax assessment.
