Appealing your Property Tax Assessment...Video Tutorials, are provided by California's State Board of Equalization.  They have on their website 9 short videos that help walk you through the process of preparing and presenting your appeal at your county Board of Equalization or Assessment Board.  I think they have done a great job in explaining the process and it's for consumer information.  It may seem like an overwhelming process, but your first step is understanding the process and the time frames involved to make your appeal.  As they say...Knowledge is Power...so inform yourself and you could save a considerable amount of money should your home's Property Tax Assessment be overlooked by your County Assessor.

To view the video tutorials, go to www.boe.ca.gov/info/AssessmentVideo/AppealAssessmentIndex.html
