There are several property owners who are looking to get their property values reassessed.  I've helped a few of my clients and other associates with their applications. Some have succeeded in getting their property tax assessment adjusted.

Some folks know where to go, how to proceed. Some need a little help. As a service to folks in Alameda County, CA, here is a good start:

• Assessor's Office http://www.acgov.org/assessor/assrinfo.htm
• Assessment Appeals http://www.acgov.org/clerk/assessment.htm

Assessment Appeals

The Clerk, Board of Supervisor's Assessment Appeals Unit receives and processes assessment appeal applications; schedules hearings in accordance with legal requirements; maintains minutes and official records; provides administrative support to Assessment Appeal Board members and Hearing Officers; and provides assistance and education to the general public on the assessment appeals process.
