Property Tax

The BOE acts in an oversight capacity to ensure compliance by county assessors with property tax laws, regulations, and assessment issues. To perform the oversight functions, Property Taxes conducts periodic compliance audits (surveys) of the 58 county assessors' programs, and develops property tax assessment policies and informational materials to guide county assessors and local assessment appeals boards. In addition, the BOE assesses the property of regulated railroads and specified utilities, and assesses and collects the private railroad car tax.
