Assessor - Request for Informal Assessment Review

OFFICE OF THE ASSESSOR COUNTY OF NEVADA

2025-2026
REQUEST FOR INFORMAL ASSESSMENT REVIEW - PROPOSITION 8
With the passage of Proposition 8 in 1978, Section 51 was codified into the California Revenue and Taxation Code. This code section provides that the assessed value of any property shall not exceed its full market value on the January 1 lien date. If you have evidence that the full market value of your property on January 1, 2025, is less than your 2025-2026 assessed value, you may wish to complete this ‘Request for Informal Assessment Review’ form.

In order for the Assessor to complete an informal review of your property, please complete and return this form to the Assessor’s Office by December 15, 2025.

IMPORTANT: Please keep a copy of this completed form for your records.
NOTE:

Our staff will do their best to review, and if appropriate, recommend a reduced assessment under Proposition 8 well before the formal assessment appeal deadline of December 1st, 2025. If you still do not agree with the Assessor’s opinion of value or have not heard back on this informal assessment review request by late November, you have the right to formally appeal your property tax assessment.

To do this, you must contact the Nevada County Clerk of the Board’s Office at (530) 265-1480 and ask for an Assessment Appeal Application form. You must file the ‘Assessment Appeal Application’ between July 2 and December 1st, 2025. There is a $30 administrative filing fee for this service. Once filed, you will then be given the opportunity to present your case before a three-member Assessment Appeals Board at a later date.
