Property Tax Appeal Letter Sample

Dear Mr. Goldberg,

My name is Ronald Washington Sr. and this property tax appeal is in reference to a bill I received on May 15th. This is a tax for my property at 172-97 124th Road Bakersfield California 93217. I need further clarification as the amount is significantly larger than expected.

I understood new commercial property taxes started with the current quarter. This increase should be 1.5 percent over the total year. Yet according to my current bill calculations for this quarter alone total that amount. That means the total year increase is going to six percent four times the state board’s vote of 1.5. I have attached a copy of my property’s blueprint copies of three previous tax bills and the current one. One thing I have noted (and circled on all the bills) is the most current bill has a typo in the address. It reads 172-97 174th Road a property that doesn’t exist.

Best Regards,

Ronald Washington
