Press Release - 05/22/2009 New Home Appraisal Rules Article
Matt Anzaldo inspects a bedroom in a house while doing an appraisal in southwest Bakersfield Friday morning. As of May 1, a new Home Valuation Code of Conduct has been put into effect that creates a firewall between real estate appraisers and mortgage brokers which Anzaldo, a real estate appraiser that covers Kern and Tulare counties, thinks is a "good idea."

Are you looking for the Kern County Assessor?
2009 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES CONTINUE TO FALL . . .
The Assessor reviewed and lowered over 45,000 residential properties for the last assessment roll. These properties were adjusted to reflect the market value of the property for January 1, 2008. These adjusted values were reflected for their 2008/2009 tax bills. The continued downturn in the residential market will require the Assessor to do another review for January 1, 2009. If the market value is lower than the property owner's base value, the Assessor is required to place the lower value on the assessment roll. The review will, more than likely, result in the lowering of value of approximately 50,000 residential properties for the upcoming tax year. This adjustment will be reflected on the 2009/2010 property tax bills. All properties that have a lower value will receive notification via US Mail by July 15, 2009. IT IS NOT NECESSARY, at this time, to contact the Assessor's Office – the review will be automatic. If, by the first of August you have not received a determination of value from the Assessor's Office, and you feel your value is too high, please contact the Assessor's Office at 661-868-3485. The Assessor is committed to producing a correct assessment roll for all Kern County property owners.
