| The office has a constitutional
responsibility to assess all taxable real and personal property in San
Joaquin County. We pledge to carry out those
responsibilities fairly and equally to everyone in the community. |
ALERT!
The San Joaquin County Assessor's Office is warning area taxpayers to
beware of recent mailings offering homeowners property tax relief.
Several companies are offering to file with the Assessor's Office a
form to request a review of a property assessment for a fee.
Property assessments and assessment reviews are free services offered by
the Assessor's Office and property owners do not need to pay for a service
to file a request. This office
is currently reviewing the market value of single family homes and
condominiums for the January 1, 2009 lien date.
This will affect taxes that will become due December 2009 and April
2010. Owners of property with
resulting reduced assessments will receive a letter by mid-July notifying
them of the results. Owners
who disagree with the results or those who did not receive a notice may
call our office at 209-468-2630, make contact through our website at
www.sjgov.org/assessor, or
file an application for a reduced assessment starting July 2nd with the
Clerk of the Board's Office.
IMPORTANT!
The
assessed value on your 2008-2009 property tax bill
reflected the value on January 1, 2008.
Even though property values have declined since then, by law
that is the assessment date.
The final date to appeal that value was
November 30, 2008. We
will soon be reviewing values for the January 1, 2009
lien date on single family homes and condominiums and notices should
be mailed by mid-July.
