Beschreibungen/Notizen

• * If you don't receive a tax statement for property you own and you're responsible for the payment of taxes, contact the county assessor's office to determine if the assessor is unaware of a recent change of address or ownership. * Next, it is important to compare the assessed value for the current tax year to the assessed value for the previous tax year. Under Measure 50, typically, the maximum assessed value cannot increase more than 3 percent above the property's assessed value from the prior year. Taxpayers who believe their property has been improperly assessed should contact the assessor immediately. The assessor has the discretion to change the tax roll after it's finished, provided the change reduces the value of the property. But only taxpayers who are vigilant and know their rights can avoid those nasty Halloween surprises.
