ARCHIVE of Previous Meetings

the Assessment Appeals Board are judicial
proceedings. The decisions of Assessment Appeals Boards must be based
exclusively on properly admitted
evidence. Assessment Appeals Boards may not base any factual determinations
necessary for their decisions on
anything other than the aforementioned evidence. Information presented
through public comment, unless property
admitted into evidence in compliance with the Revenue and Taxation code
and the Property Tax Rules of the State
Board of Equalization, is not evidence upon which Assessment Appeals
Boards may base findings.
The Assessment Appeals Board Agenda packet and documents are available
for review in Room 405 at City Hall.
Each item on the Agenda may include the following documents: (1) An Application
for Changed Assessment (2)
Comparable Sale Information (3) Department or Agency Correspondence (4)

Public comment will be taken for items on the agenda, as well as items
not on the agenda but under the jurisdiction
of the Board. Each member of the public will be allotted the same number
of minutes to speak to the Board. The
Board may limit the total testimony to 30 minutes.
