RCRC-Sponsored Legislation Signed Into Law

On Tuesday, Governor Brown signed RCRC-sponsored Senate Bill 447 (Nielsen) into law.  SB 447 authorizes two or more counties to create Assessment Appeals Boards to hear taxpayer appeals.  

Many low-population counties hear appeals through the local Board of Equalization (comprised of the Board of Supervisors) because there are a lack of eligible residents to serve on an Assessment Appeals Board.  SB 447 will help low-population counties to maximize the use of Assessment Appeals Boards given the complex nature of developing the county’s property tax roll.
