Assessment Appeals Board Meeting - 7/20/2026

The County of Tulare Assessment Appeals Board held a meeting on July 20, 2026, primarily to review the 2026 assessment roll and provide updates on the assessor and clerk recorder offices' upcoming relocation to Government Plaza. The assessment roll showed a 4% growth, adding about $2 billion to a total assessed value of over $55 billion. Residential property values increased the most, nearly 7%, while commercial properties rose by 3.5%. The meeting also covered a decline in assessment appeal applications and an increase in online business property filings. Significant discussion focused on the office relocation project, which aims to improve public access and service efficiency, with the move scheduled to begin next month and the project reported as on time and under budget. The board approved motions to postpone certain appeal applications to a future meeting and accepted the withdrawal calendar as presented, with no new procurement contracts or budget allocations discussed.
