Value Notices - July 2009
A large number of properties throughout Placer County are experiencing a decline in value. The Placer County Assessor’s office is currently reviewing property values for the 2009-2010 assessment roll. To complete this review, our office is analyzing real estate sales that occurred in the months surrounding the January 1, 2009 lien date. Upon completion of our review, the Assessor’s office will be mailing value notices to all property owners in July 2009. If at that time, you believe your assessed value is higher than the market value of your property as of January 1, 2009 you may contact our office for an informal review of the assessed value. A form requesting an informal review will be located here July through December 2009. There is no additional charge for this service.
Appealing your 2009-2010 Assessed Value
As an additional or alternative step, if you still believe your 2009-2010 assessed value is more than the market value as of January 1, 2009, you may file an Application for Changed Assessment with the Placer County Assessment Appeals Board http://www.placer.ca.gov/bos/Clerk/PTaxAppl.aspx . The form and further information regarding your appeal rights can be obtained from the Placer County Clerk of the Board. In addition, information regarding appealing a value based on a change in ownership or new construction can also be obtained from the Clerk of the Board. Your appeal rights are included on your value notice and property tax bill. The assessment appeal period for the 2009-2010 annual roll will be from July 2 through September 15, 2009 in Placer County.
Appealing your Supplemental Assessment
The appeal filing period for a Supplemental Assessment based on completion of new construction or a re-appraisable ownership change is governed by separate statutes from the annual roll filing period. The supplemental assessment appeal filing period is opened upon enrollment of the supplemental value and closes 60 days from the date of enrollment. A Notice of Enrollment is sent to the property owner to indicate the start of the filing period.
Should you miss the supplemental assessment filing period, you may still appeal the base year value of the property prospectively during the annual roll filing period for the subsequent three lien dates.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is very important to understand that filing an assessment appeal does not relieve an owner of the responsibility for paying any outstanding tax bill. If you do not pay the bill by the due date, you may suffer penalties and interest charges that could otherwise be avoided. If you pay a bill and subsequently at the appeals hearing the Assessment Appeals Board lowers the value, you will be refunded or credited any excess taxes you may have paid.
