New Assessed Property Values are Available Today (Sacramento County)

Anatolia Tax Appeal — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:32:55 +0000

The Sacramento County Assessor’s Office has their 2009-10 assessed values up on their website as of today. You can go HERE and search for your house based upon the beginning letter of your street name. If you get stuck in the process, go ahead and give us a call at 916-595-3735.

This is a very important figure by the Assessor’s Office. This can very well determine whether you will be comfortable with their level of assessment or move forward with a property tax appeal. Remember that for every $10,000 too high in property tax assessment, you basically pay an extra $100.

If you have questions about your property in Anatolia or other properties within the Greater Sacramento Region, you are welcome to call 916-595-3735 or send us an email too at info@AnatoliaTaxAppeal.com.

Why home owners should NOT fill out the “Decline in Value Reassessment Application (Prop. 8)

Anatolia Tax Appeal — Thu, 28 May 2009 18:37:42 +0000

This “Decline in Value Reassessment Application” is something you can fill out and give to the Sacramento County Office of the Assessor at 3701 Power Inn Road. The form asks you to provide two comparable properties which will then be reviewed by the Assessor. The Assessor states on the form “If you do not agree with our decision (on the value), you may have formal appeal rights with the Sacramento County Assessment Appeals Board”. This sounds good and all, but the problem is that you may very well never hear back from the Assessor (especially in light of how busy they are these days). Ultimately, this form is basically meaningless and should therefore be avoided (in my opinion). Since the Sacramento County Assessment Appeals Board was set up to resolve differences of property value between the Assessor and property owners, they are the direct source to interact with when there are value issues to consider for your property. My suggestion to home owners is to bypass dealing with the Assessor and filling out their application and instead fill out the “Application for Changed Assessment” that is turned into the Sacramento County Appeals Board. This is the application that gets you what you are looking for – an opportunity to appeal your property taxes before the Appeals Board. The other form does NOT result in this opportunity.

Unfortunately many local home owners will file the Assessor “Decline in Value” form only and think that they have filed an appeal, but that is not the case. The correct application must be filled out if you are planning to appeal your property taxes. I can help you with this process and provide you with a solid and convincing opinion of value to be presented to the Sacramento County Appeals Board.

Why don’t more home owners in Sacramento County appeal their property taxes?

Anatolia Tax Appeal — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:51:46 +0000

There are a number of reasons why local home owners do not appeal their property taxes more often: 1) Many property owners are unfamiliar with what to do and how to do it, so appealing property taxes and handling something new can feel intimidating; 2) Life gets busy and this whole process seems like a pain to deal with; 3) Many home owners do not know who to be able to trust to help them; 4) Home owners get a letter in the mail stating that the Assessor has already dropped their property tax level for the year, so home owners feel that they have already received all that they can. But in so many cases, they have not because the assessed value is still too high (sometimes very high).

Please contact me with questions so that I can help you decided whether appealing taxes is a good move for you or not.

What is a Sacramento County Appeals Board hearing for lowering property taxes like?

Anatolia Tax Appeal — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 18:41:38 +0000

The board will first present their evidence for the assessed value of your property. They will give their reasons why they believe market value is at a certain level (the assessed level most likely). The burden of proof is on the Assessor to determine that the value is correct. You (or me as your agent) will then provide evidence for a lowered opinion of value (and provide copies for each board member too). It is important that the information is packaged and presented to the board in an Assessor-friendly manner that is easy to follow and makes sense based upon the true market trends of your neighborhood as it pertains to your property.
