Where can I learn more about appealing my The High Desert property taxes?
Contact The San Bernardino County Assessor’s Office to see what procedures to follow to appeal your property tax assessment. You may be able to appeal your assessment informally. Mostly likely, however, you will have to go through a formal tax-appeal process, which begin with an appeal filed with the appropriate assessment appeals board. The assessor’s office has been fair and professional in their approach to date but you need to keep in mind that there is no way they can touch every property in the county.
What can you do about this? Fortunately for Californian buyers and home owners you have a law on your side, Proposition 13, which compels your county assessor to re-evaluate your properties assessed value on your current sales price or current value of the home. Even though most assessors don’t get around to reassessing sales immediately you should expect, within 6-12 months after you close escrow, to get an advisement from the county assessor of your revised property value for property tax purposes.
