Property tax appeal questions homeowners ask.
How do I know if my property tax assessment is too high?
Compare your county's assessed value with recent comparable sales in your area. If your assessed value is significantly higher than what similar homes have sold for, you may be overassessed. Assessify does this comparison automatically when you enter your address or APN.
What is a property tax appeal and how does it work in California?
A property tax appeal is a formal request to your county's Assessment Appeals Board to review and potentially lower your assessed value. In California, homeowners can file an appeal if they believe their property's assessed value exceeds its fair market value. Each county has its own filing deadlines, typically between July and November.
Does Assessify guarantee a property tax refund?
No. Assessify organizes evidence and helps you understand whether a review is worth pursuing. County assessment appeals boards make the final decision on whether to adjust your assessed value. Assessify provides the data and documentation to support your case.
What do I need to file a property tax appeal?
You need your property address or APN to start. Assessify then provides the comparable sales data, assessment analysis, and a professional report package that can be used when filing with your county's appeals board. No prior experience with tax appeals is required.
How long does a property tax refund take in California?
Timelines vary by county. After a successful assessment reduction, most California counties process refunds within 30 to 90 days. Some counties may take longer depending on their backlog. Assessify includes county-specific timeline guidance in your report.
Is my property information kept confidential?
Yes. Your property data and analysis are private to your account. Assessify uses publicly available county assessment records and comparable sales data to generate your report. We do not share your information with third parties.
