Assessment Appeals Board Meeting - October 19, 2026

The Ventura County Assessment Appeals Board meeting on October 19, 2026, handled property-tax assessment appeals. The board approved the agenda review, which included denials for lack of appearance, continuances pending original stipulations, and removals following withdrawals. During the hearing, numerous appeals were continued—primarily to December 14, 2026, January 11, 2027, or February 8, 2027—with data-submission provisos and, in some cases, two-year waiver requirements. Several applications were verbally withdrawn, requiring no board action.

The board heard a dispute over the May 2022 base-year value of a vacant Oxnard development property: the assessor supported a value of about $9 million, while the applicant argued for approximately $3.8–$4.5 million. The hearing was continued to February 8, 2027, with a 30-day property-inspection proviso. The board also continued related appeals to December 14 while it seeks further legal guidance on the two-year deadline and the effect of appeal consolidation. No procurement, contracting, or purchasing activity was identified.
