What is an appraisal district?
An appraisal district is an organization that is tasked with determining the value of a piece of property in a given area for the purpose of taxation. In California, an appraisal district is set up by the county, and may include multiple cities or towns. This district is responsible for assessing the value of each piece of property in the district in order to set tax rates for the county. They also handle the appeals process for property owners who believe their assessment is too high. Generally, an appraisal district works with a property appraiser who is responsible for leaving assessments in the district. The district is also responsible for collecting and distributing property tax revenue.
