§ 16646 District Property Tax Assessment

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can make rules about how to figure out taxes for property in their area.
  • •These rules must follow the bigger state laws.
  • •The board can also fix mistakes if taxes aren't fair for some properties.

Example

Imagine two houses on the same street, but one owner is paying way more tax than the other for no good reason.

The board can step in and adjust the taxes so both owners pay a fair amount based on their property's real value.
