Property owners in Ventura County that may own property currently assessed at greater than market values can appeal the assessed value to the Assessment Appeals Board (AAB).
Property values can decline for several reasons. For instance the demolition of real structures on the property, damage from landslides, earthquakes, etc. may cause the actual value of property to drop.
The assessment appeals process begins with the property owner filing an appeal with the Clerk of the Board. The appeal is reviewed by the Assessor and Assessment Appeals Board.
The AAB hears all applications not directed to the Hearing Officer. It may act only on the basis of evidence which is presented to the Board. The only authority of the Board or Hearing Officer is to determine the taxable value of your property. The decision on value will be determined by weighing the evidence presented.
Once the disposition of the appeal is determined, the property owner is notified.
If you feel that your property is worth less than than the value assessed by the County Assessor, you can begin your application for assessment appeal here. It is very important to understand the requirements of filing an appeal before you begin. Please read the Assessment Appeals Information document before filing your appeal.
