Reminder: Property Tax Assessment Appeals deadline 5:00 p.m. Monday, December 1

[EconProf]

If you think you are paying too much in property taxes (more than 1.15% or so of its value as of January 1 of this year), then your last chance to do something about it is 5:00 Monday, Dec. 1.
That is the deadline for the year. Details by googling the San Diego Assessor.
Be sure to bring comps from January 1, 2008, plus or minus 3 months only. Ignor recent transactions. Time is short, so coozy up to your realtor friend to get the comps. The form is fairly simple and straightforward. Don’t wait till the last-minute crush at the County Administration Building on Pacific Avenue.
And don’t expect local politicians and bureaucrats to trumpet this deadline–they’d rather you kept paying inflated taxes on your depreciating property.

If everyone is paying less in prop taxes, I wonder what will happen to our already BS government budgets? SD city budget in the red by millions. CA state budget in the red by billions. Federal Gov in the red (due to Bailouts) in the red by Trillions. And now people are gonna reduce the one tax that really isnt suppose to fall much! Just imagine if the city/state started collecting 20% less property taxes. We cant cut libaries or parks with the deficits we already have, what happens when those deficits get even worse?

I wonder if people would ever allow schools to be cut? They are a majority of the budget. Doubt it. We’ll just sell out the children by selling some more bonds and making them pay it back.
