Sacramento County Property Assessment 2009-2010

Have you checked your assessed value on your home or investment property?  With property values rapidly declining since 2006, your assessed value may be higher than the market value of your home.  Which means, you are paying higher taxes that needed.  The current assessed value can be checked at www.assessor.saccounty.net.  There is still time to request an assessor review if your value of your home has declined.  The form "Decline-in-Market Value Request or Assessor Review (prop8) 2009-2010 Assessment year" must be filed by November 30, 2009 for the 2009-2010 tax period.  The form is very simple to fill out, it does require 2 sale comparables in your neighborhood, based on sales from January 1, 2009 through March 31, 2009.
