Earlier this week, Alpine County Supervisor Ron Hames testified before the Assembly Revenue & Taxation Committee in support of RCRC-sponsored Senate Bill 447, authored by Senate Jim Nielsen (R-Tehama).  SB 447 authorizes two or more counties to create assessment appeals boards to hear taxpayer appeals.  

Supervisor Hames echoed the sentiment of many low-population counties stating that it is wise to maximize the use of assessment appeals boards given the complex nature of developing the county’s property tax roll. 

SB 447 passed out of the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee and now awaits consideration in the Assembly.
