What if I disagree with the assessed value as shown on my tax bill?

If you disagree with a change in the assessed value as shown on the tax bill, you have the right to an informal assessment review by contacting the Assessor’s Office at 530-842-8036 or toll free at 1-888-854-2000-8-8036. If you disagree with the result of the informal review, you have the right to file an application for reduction in assessment for the following year with the Siskiyou County Assessment Appeals Board during the period from July 2 to November 30 inclusive. The Assessment Appeals Board is located at the County Clerk's Office, 311 Fourth Street, Room 201, Yreka, California 96097.

Application for review and equalization of an assessment made outside of the regular assessment period must be filed with the Clerk of the Assessment Appeals Board no later than 60 days after the receipt of the "Notice of Escape Assessment" or the tax bill for the assessment. Receipt by the assessee of a tax bill based on an assessment made outside of the regular assessment period constitutes a notification of such assessment. (Section 1605 RTC)
