Financial and Management Services Director Sharon McCarthy and Real Estate Assessments Director Dayle Gallagher are our guests on the podcast this week. They provide a detailed explanation of how real estate assessments are determined and how homeowners can appeal. Assessment notices will arrive in mailboxes soon, so this is a great opportunity to understand how the process works. Check it out and let us know what you think! Show Notes: What should a property owner do if they have questions about their reassessment? Property owners can contact the Real Estate Assessments office to discuss their property with the assessor assigned to it. A change in assessment may be possible if the data is incorrect. Outside of a data change, a property owner can appeal their assessment during the appeal period, which is open during the 30 days following notice of reassessment. Deadline to appeal to the Real Estate Assessment Office is March 30, 2024 Deadline to appeal to the Board of Equalization is April 30, 2024.
