File an Assessment Appeal

Applications may be filed by the property owner, their spouse, parent, or child, or anyone affected by the assessment in accordance with Property Tax Rule 305.

An Authorized Agent or California-licensed Attorney can file an appeal on the applicant’s behalf or represent the applicant in the appeals process. An Authorized Agent is not required to file an appeal, but if using one, they must meet certain requirements. An authorized representative may be changed or removed at any time prior to a hearing.

The deadline to file an appeal depends on the type of assessment being appealed.
