File only if the county’s number is at least 5% or $25,000 above nearby closed sales as of Jan 1, 2026. If your Prop 13 factored value is already at or below those sales, do not file — the board can keep or even raise it.
Not legal advice. Not a law firm. Not a registered tax agent. We do not file, appear, or take a cut of any savings.
The Assessment Appeals Board can confirm, reduce, or rarely increase the assessed value. No reduction is guaranteed.
Refund of the $199 packet price only if the packet we deliver is incomplete. Any county filing fee is paid to the county (when the county charges one) and is not refunded by TaxTooHigh.
TaxTooHigh is not a county, not an Assessor, and not an Assessment Appeals Board.
Appealing does not pause the tax bill. California’s first installment is typically delinquent December 10. Pay the bill on time; a reduction, if granted, is refunded later.
