It may also be prudent to start the formal appeal process as well as filing the quick online  property tax appeal forms on the links listed below.

Here are the direct internet links to the San Francisco Assessor’s Office for property tax appeals of  SINGLE FAMILY HOMES and CONDOS or for TIC units ONLY.

Questions and more options about the propery tax appeals process:

Do I have any recourse if I disagree with the valuation placed on my property by the Assessor?

Yes. If you disagree with the assessed value of your property you may contact the Office of the Assessor/Recorder at (415) 554-5596. They can provide you with information on how the value was established.

If you still disagree with the assessed value of your property after reviewing it with the Office of the Assessor/Recorder, you may contact the Assessment Appeals Board for the purpose of appealing your assessment.

If you choose to appeal your assessment, you must still pay your property tax in full by the appropriate deadlines; otherwise, you will incur penalties while the case is on appeal. If your appeal is granted, a refund will be issued to you.

Appeal applications and further information about the appeal process can be obtained by contacting the Assessment Appeals Board. Please call if you have any questions. I can also provide you with recent sales to support value changes in your area.
