As I talk with folks about my campaign for County Assessor…the question keeps coming up….what does the Assessor do. So, I went to the County web page…and here is the “official version”, which answers some of the questions.
The Assessor produces an assessment roll that reflects the taxable values of land, improvements, and personal property listed by the Assessor’s parcel numbering system or the account numbering system.
In addition to the taxable value, the roll must also indicate the current status of ownership, the owner’s mailing address, and the existence of any exemptions as of the January 1st lien date. To accomplish this, the Assessor must discover, classify, and appraise all locally assessable property according to constitutional, statutory, and administrative requirements.
In addition to preparing the annual local assessment roll pursuant to Sec. 601 of the Calif. Revenue & Taxation Code, the Assessor must also produce the Supplemental Assessment Roll as provided in Section 75 through 75.8 of the Revenue & Taxation Code. (Sounds pretty technical)
Kind of says it all, and makes sense. As I continue my “asking questions” and then “getting questions”…this is a good answer.
