Assessor-Recorder Joaquín Torres Reminds Taxpayers of Assessment Appeals Deadline

San Francisco, CA – Monday, September 15, 2025, will mark the last day of the Assessment Appeals Board (AAB) filing period to submit your formal appeal of your 2025-2026 assessment.

Individual Notices of Assessed Values for 2025-2026 were sent out by the Office of the Assessor-Recorder this past July 2025. These values serve as the basis for property tax bills that owners receive from the Treasurer & Tax Collector in October. If you believe that the market value of your property is below the assessed value as of January 1, 2025 (value listed on your Notice of Assessed Value), you can file an appeal with the Assessment Appeals Board in person, online or post mark an application by September 15, 2025.

The AAB is an independent entity that is separate from the Office of the Assessor-Recorder. For more information on how to apply for an Assessment Appeal as well as the different types of appeals and deadlines, please visit the Assessment Appeals Board Website.

Please note that you are still responsible for paying your property taxes on time even if you have filed an appeal. This way you can avoid penalties applied for payment made after the due date. If you receive a reduction in value through the appeal process, the Office of the Treasurer & Tax Collector (a separate office) will work to issue you a refund.
