The County of Los Angeles is sponsoring six free seminars during January-June to assist property owners who feel their taxes should be lowered due to a decline in the value of their property.

The 90-minute seminars will be offered at two locations:  El Monte and Van Nuys.

The meetings are intended to help taxpayers better understand the assessment appeals process, which many find confusing. The seminars will be of value to homeowners who are interested in learning about the assessment appeals process and to those who have already filed an appeal. The seminars will cover taxpayers appeal rights and when to file an application for reduction in assessment. The seminars will also cover how to prepare for a hearing, what qualifies as admissible evidence, what will happen at the hearing and what to expect after the hearing. 

The dates, times and locations of the sessions are:              

  1. El Monte – Jack Crippen Senior Center, Crafts Room, 3120 N. Tyler Ave., Thursday, June 9, 10 a.m. Free parking.
  2. Van Nuys –  Bernardi Senior Center, 6514 Sylmar Ave., Wednesday, May 4, 2 p.m.  Free parking, entrance on Hamlin St.
