Personal Exemptions in California

[kmiller]

Excuse me if this is answered in another post, but I could not find it by searching.

Code Civ. Proc., § 703.140(b)(3) states:

The debtor's interest in household furnishings,
household goods, wearing apparel, appliances, books,
animals, crops, or musical instruments, that are held
primarily for the personal, family, or household use of
the debtor or a dependent of the debtor (value is of any
particular item) - exemption value is $550.

What I don't understand: Does the $550 aaplpy to each of the above catagories?
ie
Household Furnishings - $550
Appliances - $550 etc

or does it mean

Stove - $550
Fridge - $550
Washing Machine - $550

Thanks

I've got them same question..

[kmiller]

I posted the question on another forum and was told that it is per item, not per catagory.

I agree with the feedback you got from the other forum. Per item with no limit in the category.

Hi all,

The limit is per item, CA is very generous with exemptions.
