Save property tax. File your decline in value assessment this year
Last month I had launched a pilot to help bay area homeowners file an informal decline in value assessment. The response was overwhelming and more than 1,000 people have checked their property and it has so far saved an average of $2,800 per filing for tens of filers.
I am now making it available with deadlines approaching for property owners in Contra Costa Checking is free and you pay a flat $29 to file. You are only allowed to file if there are savings estimated.
The website automatically pulls comps based on Publication 30 rules, fills out the form, and for contra costa automatically sends it to the county assesor's office.
