California Property Tax Associates (CAPTA)
“THIS ASSESSMENT REDUCTION FILING SERVICE IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ANY
GOVERNMENT AGENCY. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THE ASSESSED VALUE OF YOUR
PROPERTY, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN INFORMAL ASSESSMENT REVIEW, AT NO
COST, BY CONTACTING THE ASSESSOR’S OFFICE DIRECTLY. IF YOU AND THE
ASSESSOR CANNOT AGREE TO THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY OR IF YOU DO NOT
WISH TO CONTACT THE ASSESSOR YOU CAN OBTAIN AND FILE AN APPLICATION
FOR CHANGED ASSESSMENT WITH THE COUNTY BOARD OF EQUALIZATION OR
ASSESSMENT APPEALS BOARD ON YOUR OWN BEHALF. AN APPEALS BOARD HAS THE
AUTHORITY TO RAISE PROPERTY VALUES (BUT IN NO CASE HIGHER THAN THE
PROPOSITION 13 PROTECTED VALUE) AS WELL AS TO LOWER PROPERTY VALUES.”
The above disclaimer is required by AB 992. CAPTA is pleased to include it in our website as a remedy to the growing number of fraudulent companies seeking to take advantage of the continuing problems associated with falling real property values.
While CAPTA agrees with the above premise that the Assessor should reduce a property’s value if it is over-assessed, the magnitude of the work required to accomplish this task is not possible. As the need increases, the budget and staffing at the Assessors Office decreases. They simply cannot do more work with less people. That’s where CAPTA comes in.
