Before you submit an assessment appeal, you should meet with the County Assessor to discuss your appeal. Make sure to read about property tax assessment appeals before you submit your appeal.

2. Fill out the application in blue ink. 
3. Mail or drop off the completed application with a $50 non-refundable processing fee. You can pay by check or money order, payable to “County of Marin.”

After you submit the Application, you will get a letter in the mail to let you know we received your application.  

If there’s anything wrong with your application, the letter will let you know so you can fix it.
