How Do I Get My House Reassessed for Taxes in California?

1). Gather your most recent property tax statement and locate the base value amount. Formulate your reason for requesting a reassessment of your property taxes if you believe that your assessed value is significantly higher than market value.
2). Contact the Assessor's office by phone and request an informal review of your assessed value. Provide the assessor with information to support your claim that your assessed value is incorrect. However, you are not required to provide evidence if your appeal is merely the result of a decline in value.
3). File a formal "Decline-in-Value Review Application" with the Assessment Appeal Board if the informal review request doesn't solve the problem. You can complete the review application online or in person at the County Assessor's office.
