AAB Regular Meeting 08/05/2026

The Madera County Assessment Appeals Board (AAB) held a regular meeting on August 5, 2026, primarily focused on property tax appeal hearings and stipulated value approvals. The board reviewed and approved stipulated values for several properties, including hotels and storage facilities, with motions passed unanimously. Some appeals were withdrawn or denied with prejudice due to lack of appearance or failure to comply with procedural requirements. The board also discussed scheduling, agreeing to cancel the September meeting and continue hearings in October. Staff reported that the current appeals represented the last for the 2024 tax year, with preparations underway for 2025 appeals. No new stipulations of assessed value were presented, and the board anticipated a smoother process with new software implementation in upcoming meetings.
