Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have any recourse if I disagree with the valuation placed on my mobile home by the assessor?
Yes. You may take the matter up with the Assessor to see if that office will change the valuation. Additionally, the Board of Supervisors has established an Assessment Appeals Board for the purpose of resolving valuation problems. Additional information regarding appeals can be obtained by calling 707-445-7663, or writing:
