My New Blog

I purchased my home in Petaluma, Somona county in 2005 like a lot of you, the value has decreased just like a most of the homes in the Bay Area. I called the assessors office and let them know about the deceased values in Petaluma and other parts of Sonoma county, I was directed me to the county appraiser, who gave my home a "revaluation" and revised my taxed value downward $41,000 a savings of 410.00 a year. No appraisal was needed. Check your tax bill, challenge them and get a reduction. If they disagree with you, then you can call me, as an expert real estate appraiser, I have the knowledge to complete a credible opinion of value that can be used to challenge the higher taxed value. I hope this was of some use to you. The following are links to the Assessors offices in the Bay Area
