Many Sacramento County taxpayers have become concerned over all the solicitations they are receiving in regards to their property tax assessments and exemptions.

Assessor Ken Stieger wishes to alert the public that property owners may receive solicitations from private businesses and individuals offering property tax assistance or services for a fee.

The Assessor’s office, however, provides most services without a fee. Some examples are requests for Homeowner's Exemptions and review of Assessed Property Values. Please contact the Assessor's office directly to take advantage of the Assessor's office services.

While property owners are certainly at liberty to use these private companies, they can apply for most of these services themselves at absolutely no cost simply by writing a letter or otherwise contacting the Assessor's Office.
