Consider having your Santa Cruz property taxes reassessed. It is a simple and painless way to save a few dollars annually.

There may be a nominal filing fee or an administration fee.

In Santa Cruz you can visit Santa Cruz County Assessors Site look for the assessors appeals form, or decline in value reassessment form. When you are completing the form you will need to explain the estimate of value, this is something I am happy to provide for you by way of a free Santa Cruz Home Market Analysis. From that point a current value can be determined and presented to the assessors office.

It is also a good idea to include a cover letter, in this you will want to explain how the value was determined and any additional information you have regarding recent sales in your neighborhood, special conditions etc.
