The Assessment Appeals Board, appointed by the Board of Supervisors to serve as the local Board of Equalization, will determine the value of the property after hearing evidence from the applicant and a representative of the Assessor's Office.

Regular assessment appeal filing dates are July 2 through November 30. If a final filing date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday, an appeal may be postmarked the next business day and it will still meet the filing deadline.

Appeal applications for supplemental or escape assessments must be filed no later than 60 days after the date of the Assessor's notice of assessment.

Assessment appeal applications and related forms are available at the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, from the Assessment Appeals Board Clerk, or online (You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software to view the application, and fill it out and print it.):
