Frequently Asked Questions

When should I contact property tax consultant?

  • Whenever you receive a letter or notice from the Assessor
  • If you receive a notice  from the State Board of Equalization
  • Before you purchase investment property
  • When it's time to prepare estate planning and you've already spoken to your attorney or CPA

My property was reassessed. Do I have to pay this bill?

Yes!  And it must be paid timely.  If we're able to correct the assessment or reduce the value, refunds will be issued.

What does this letter mean?

  • SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE:  Property was reassessed due to a change in ownership or new construction.
  • NOTICE OF ESCAPE ASSESSMENT:  The Assessor determined either a change in ownership or new construction occurred in a prior year.  Discuss with us to avoid missing any potential deadlines.
  • REQUEST FOR INFORMATION:  The  Assessor discovered a deed or other document suggesting property may have undergone a change in ownership.  Allow us to review deeds and documents before you submit them.  Allow us to discuss the issues with the Assessor on your behalf.
  • HOMEOWNERS EXEMPTION:  The Assessor provides this to single family residences when they anticipate the owner will occupy the property.  Provides approximately $80 in annual property tax savings if you qualify.
  • CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP STATEMENT:   A deed was filed with the  Recorder's office and a required preliminary change in ownership  report was not provided.

What needs to be done?

If you received a notice of supplemental or an escape assessment, an appeal must be filed within 60 days of the notice date.  If we can resolve the issue without a hearing, the appeal can be withdrawn.


If you missed the 60 days, the open period to file an appeal is annually from July 2 to September 15 in some counties.  Or until November 30 in most counties.
