"This Year's Prop 13 Assessment" shows the property's factored Prop 13 value.

"This Year's Assessment" displays the assessed values that will appear on the tax bill.

If the two columns do not match, the property is in a temporary reduced status known as Prop 8 Decline In Value.

(Reference CA Rev. & Tax. Code 619 & 621; Sacramento Co. Res. 2013-217)

If you disagree with the assessed value Request an Informal Value Review by the Assessor’s Office between July 1 and December 31 at no cost.

Assessment Appeal ($30 filing fee)

Filing period is July 2 through November 30*. Contact the Assessment Appeals Board at 700 H Street, Room 2450; Sacramento, CA 95814. Telephone: 916-874-8174, or visit the Appeals Board web site.

*If the final filing date falls on a weekend, mail postmarked the next business day shall be deemed on time.

Revenue & Taxation Code Section 1607 provides that, if upon review of the application, the Assessor, the county legal officer and the applicant agree to a reduction in value, then a written stipulation signed by those parties may be filed with the Assessment Appeals Board. In such cases, the applicant is not required to attend the scheduled hearing or to testify to the property’s value. At that stipulation hearing, the Assessment Appeals Board may either accept the stipulation and the matter is closed, or they may reject it and schedule a new hearing which the applicant will be required to attend.

Property owners must still pay any property tax bills timely to avoid penalties, pending outcome of the appeal.
