California property tax appeal deadlines released by county
June 27, 2024
This week California issued their 2024 property tax appeal calendar featuring a county-by-county breakdown of the assessment appeals filing period pursuant to the requirements of Revenue and Taxation Code section 1603. This calendar applies to both commercial real estate property tax and business personal property tax in California.
As in previous years, the regular appeals filing period begins on July 2 and either ends on Sept. 15 or Nov. 30 depending on if the county assessor has chosen to mail assessment notices by Aug. 1. Since both deadlines fall on a weekend in 2024, those dates have been moved to Sept. 16, 2024 and Dec. 2, 2024. While changes to the filing deadlines at the county level do not happen often, and no major occurrences have happened recently, there have been a few major counties in California, most notably Orange County and Ventura County, that have changed their filing deadlines in conjunction with newly elected county assessors.
County assessment appeals filing periods for 2024
The clerks of county assessment appeals boards and county boards of equalization have certified the assessment appeals filing period for their counties pursuant to the requirements of Revenue and Taxation Code section 1603.
The regular appeals filing period will begin on July 2, 2024 in each county and will end either on Sept. 16 or Dec. 2, depending on whether the county assessor has elected to mail assessment notices by Aug. 1, 2024, to all taxpayers with property on the secures roll.
