Less Than Two Weeks to Appeal Property Tax Assessment

If you want to appeal your property tax assessment for 2011-12, you have until Nov. 30 to do so.

Here's information from a San Diego County news release about what to do:

The last day taxpayers may file protests concerning their 2011-2012 property assessments is in less than two weeks.

Applications to appeal property tax assessments must be received by the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors Office (COB) no later than 5 p.m. on Nov. 30, or postmarked by midnight that date.

The regular filing period for an appeals application for your 2011-2012 property assessment is July 2 to Nov. 30.

Free, simple applications can be obtained on the County Clerk of the Board website. Residents may also speak with staff and access applications and information booklets at the COB office located in the County Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 402 in San Diego.

Property owners must provide their parcel number or tax bill number, the property address and they must state their opinion of the property’s market value on the application.

An informational video is available online that explains the assessment appeals process and provides helpful tips. The video can be viewed on the County’s YouTube page.
