Dear neighbors - My wife and I went down today for our informal review to look into the reassessment on our home. Several things I wish to pass on: 1) 2013 Reassessment values have been taken off the county web site, thus there are none of the "NEW" numbers on the comparables to your home, nor on your neighbors, thus you have no ability to contrast the value that the county is putting on your home and property !!! 2) I printed out a map with our home in the center at least showing the property sizes, and used the old values to fight that. 3) I was lucky and started this process when the 2013 values were still there so was able to write some of the ones I wanted to use down, but when I went to print out the comparables this past weekend, they were gone, so see if you can get those to talk to the people about. 4) Parking is available free of charge with shuttle service, dropping you a block from the County Office Building, at the 2nd Avenue Parking, which is on the other side of the Armstrong Tunnels toward Oakland, from the Jail. All you need to show is your appointment paperwork, and you will get in free of charge. The process itself seemed very easy, but there are a lot of people there !!! We were called within five minutes of our scheduled appointment, and we were back on the shuttle within a half hour of getting there to get to our appointment. Following our discussion on our assessment, we were directed to a scanning room where they scanned our documents into the record of our informal review. We shall hear what they find in about six weeks or so. Hope this is of help to those looking into appealing their assessment.
