Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version Share this

April 21, 2011 (San Diego)--The property values in San Diego County have been dropping in market value over the last couple of years. Consequently, some property owners are submitting a request for review of their assessed value with the County Assessor’s Office. Ernie Dronenburg, the San Diego County Assessor, reminds property owners that the deadline to request a review of their assessed value is April 29, 2011.

 

This year for the first time, the application for an Assessment Review may be submitted online at www.sdarcc.com.

 

It is a self explanatory form and does not take a lot of knowledge about the law, only an understanding of the current market value of your home, Dronenberg says.
 

Property owners who believe their property’s market value as of January 1, 2011 has dropped below its current assessed value, can file an application online to request the Assessor to review their property’s assessment before this year’s bill is issued. As an indication of their current assessed value, an owner can reference the assessed value on their 2010-2011 tax bill.
 

Mr. Dronenburg also wanted to remind the over 196,000 taxpayers who were granted a reduction last year that they need not apply again this year as their assessed value of last year will automatically be reviewed.
 

He concluded by stating that, “If you are online challenged and would like the paper version of the application form, you can call our help number at the Assessor’s office (858-505-6262) and a form will be sent to you by mail. However, don’t delay because the filing period closes April 29, 2011.”

All taxpayers who apply will be notified of the results of the Assessor’s decision when the annual notices of values are mailed in July. If the owner disagrees with the Assessor’s decision, they can file a formal appeal with the county Assessment Appeals Board. This appeal should be sent to the Clerk of the Assessment Appeals Board, between July 2 and November 30.
