Property Tax Assessment

At Capital City Valuation, we provide specialized property tax assessment services for property owners in Sacramento and surrounding areas. If you believe your property’s assessed value may be inaccurate, resulting in higher taxes than necessary, we can help. Our professional appraisals deliver a fair, market-based valuation of your property, giving you the credible support needed to contest your tax assessment and potentially reduce your property tax burden.

What is a Property Tax Assessment Appraisal?

A property tax assessment appraisal is an independent evaluation of your property’s current market value, conducted to verify or challenge the assessed value established by the tax assessor. An accurate appraisal provides you with a clear picture of your property’s actual worth, helping you determine if you’re paying fair taxes or if there is grounds to seek a reassessment. At Capital City Valuation, our appraisers consider local market trends, comparable property sales, and the unique characteristics of your property to ensure an accurate, fair valuation.

When Do You Need a Property Tax Assessment Appraisal?

There are several situations in which a property tax assessment appraisal may be beneficial:

• Appealing a Property Tax Assessment: If you believe your property has been over-assessed, an independent appraisal gives you the documentation needed to contest your tax bill.

• Annual Property Tax Review: Many property owners choose to conduct regular appraisals to ensure their tax assessments remain accurate and reflect current market conditions.

• Significant Changes in Property Value: If there has been a major shift in the real estate market or if your property has undergone significant changes in condition, a new appraisal helps verify that your tax assessment is up-to-date.

• Buying or Selling Property: A property tax assessment appraisal is useful during a transaction to understand the potential tax impact based on current market value, helping both buyers and sellers in budgeting and planning.
