Open Seats Available On Marin County Assessment Appeals Boards

MARIN COUNTY, CA – Seats are available for two Marin County Assessment Appeals Boards.

Appointed by the Marin County Board of Supervisors, members of the Assessment Appeals Boards hear appeals by property owners regarding value assessments by the county assessor. In recent years, the caseload of the state-mandated Assessment Appeals Boards have necessitated hearings about every four weeks. There are two separate boards, each with three members, and appeals are heard alternately by the two boards.

The application deadline is 5 p.m. August 10, for candidates with expertise in real estate, accounting, law or property appraisal. Board members are paid a stipend per meeting and there may be a need for additional meetings.

Candidates must have a minimum of five years of professional experience in California as one of the following: certified public accountant or public accountant; licensed real estate broker; attorney; property appraiser accredited by a nationally recognized professional organization; or a property appraiser certified by the Office of Real Estate Appraisers or by the State Board of Equalization. Applicants must include documentation of qualifying experience with their application to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. Employees of an assessor's office within the past three years are not eligible.

Apply online or learn more about the application process by calling the Clerk of the Board at 415-473-7331. Interested applicants can also request an application by email at commissions@marincounty.org or by mail at Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Suite 329, 3501 Civic Center Drive, San Rafael.
