California Family Code Section 2640 establishes a mandatory statutory right to reimbursement for separate property contributions made to community property, limited strictly to Down Payment, Improvements, and Principal payments (DIP).

Interest, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance payments are NOT reimbursable under §2640.
Reimbursement is capped at the net equity value of the asset at the time of division.
No interest or appreciation is added to the reimbursable contribution amount.
