Owners of property, including homes, in San Diego County who disagree with their property-tax assessments for this year can file an appeal.
Applications and information on the appeal process can be found at the county's website (click here) and at the county administration office, 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 402, in downtown San Diego.
Appeals must be submitted no later than 5 p.m. Nov. 30, or be postmarked by midnight Nov. 30.
Property owners should know their parcel or tax bill number and property address when filling out an application. They also must say on the form their opinion of the property's market value.
Property includes residential, commercial and industrial space. It also includes planes and boats.
A county video detailing the appeals process says if the county and the taxpayer "agree to disagree" on the market value of the property, then the case goes to an assessment appeals hearing, an independent board made up of licensed brokers, real estate appraisers, CPAs and other experts.
After reviewing the appeal and related forms, the board make a determination.
Things you should know or have for an appeal:
--At least three examples of comparable sales in your geographic area.
--Five copies of all documents you plan to present to the appeals board.
Applications can be mailed to: Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Assessment Appeals, 1600 Pacific Highway, Room 402, San Diego, CA 92101-2471
