Assessment appeals are generally filed by the property owner when the homeowner disagrees with the valuation set by the assessor. “While we’re not looking to increase the number of appeals filed, we do want property owners in San Mateo County to know that their deadline to file an appeal for 2009 is just a week away,” explained Warren Slocum, Chief Elections Officer & Assessor — County Clerk — Recorder in a release.
To file an appeal, property owners must contact the San Mateo County Assessment Appeals Board, an independent panel appointed by the Board of Supervisors to hear assessment appeals. Here is the contact information for the Assessment Appeals Board:
