Filing an Assessment Appeal
What should I do if I don't agree with the assessor's value of my property?
Since any increase or decrease in assessed value will impact the amount of taxes you pay, it is important to contact RPC Financial Services, Inc. if you feel that the assessed value exceeds the market value of your property. RPC's representatives will review any information you may have relating to the value of your property. If you have any questions concerning the valuation, please complete the Tax Assessment Review form on our website or contact our office.
If, after contacting RPC Financial Services, Inc., a difference of opinion as to value still exists, we can appeal the assessed value to the county board of equalization or county assessment appeals board. If we are appealing a value that is already on the assessment roll on the lien date, January 1st, we must file your application to appeal during the "regular assessment filing period." The clerks of county assessment appeals boards and county boards of equalization have certified the assessment appeals filing period for their counties pursuant to the requirements of Revenue and Taxation Code section 1603. The regular appeals filing period will begin on July 2nd in each county and will end either on September 15 or November 30, depending on whether the county assessor has elected to mail assessment notices, by August 1st, to all taxpayers with property on the secured roll.
If we are appealing a supplemental or escape assessment, we must file your application to appeal within 60 days after the date of the notice of the supplemental or escape assessment.
If we decide to appeal, we must file an Application for Changed Assessment form with the appropriate county clerk of the board, and our application must be filed timely in order for the clerk to schedule an appeals hearing.
