Assessment Appeals

There is a $30 filing fee for each assessment appeal application. We accept check or money order - NO CASH.

Assessment Appeals is an independent function, separate from the Assessor's Office, established to decide disputes between the Assessor's Office and property owners.

Assessment Reduction Notice Deadline Conflict

If you request an informal assessment reduction review (Proposition 8) by the Assessor, be advised that the Assessor will be unable to complete your review before the Application for Changed Assessment filing deadline of September 15.

It is important to note that the informal assessment reduction review is separate from a formal Application for Changed Assessment filed with the Clerk of the Board.

Please consider filing an Application for Changed Assessment to protect your administrative rights. The Clerk of the Board is located on the Tenth Floor, East Wing, of the County building. The Clerk can be reached at (408) 299-5088.
