Expert Appraisals for San

Diego County Tax Assessment Appeals

Are you concerned about excessive property tax payments? Do you
suspect your property has been overvalued by the state tax board? FirstSum
Appraisal Services is your ally in ensuring fair property tax assessments. Our
accurate, professional appraisals can serve as a powerful tool in the property
tax assessment appeals process.

Understanding Your Property Tax Assessment:

Your property tax bill is based on the state tax assessor’s
determined “assessed value.” You have the right to appeal this
assessment if you believe it to be inaccurate.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Lowering Your Property Taxes:

1. Verify Your Data:

Ensure that the information the state tax assessor has on public
records is accurate. Factors like square footage, bedroom and bathroom counts,
and lot size play a crucial role in determining your tax assessment.

2. Determine the Current Value:

The most effective way to challenge your assessed value is by
demonstrating that the current market value is lower than the assessed value. A
professional real estate appraisal, adhering to tax appeal guidelines, is key
in this process.

3. Present Your Case:

Engage with the Assessor’s Office to discuss your property’s
assessed value. They can review your appraisal and any additional relevant
information you provide. If warranted, they may adjust your assessed value.

4. File an Appeal Application:

This process allows property owners to appeal their assessed
value to an independent citizen’s review board. The board will carefully
evaluate the evidence presented by both parties and establish the taxable value
for the property.

• Note: Appeals must be filed between July 2nd and November 30th.
