Box 25519) in Los Angeles. The company claims it will reassess your property for a fee of $179 so you can take advantage of lower taxes due to the downturn in the housing market. In addition if the service fee is not received by 2/26/09 you will be charged a $30 late fee. From Tuolumne County Assessor-Recorder Ken Caetano, "The County Assessor's Office will do reviews of property values at no cost. Don't be misled ... it is not a solicitation from a governmental agency because we do not charge to do reassessments of property." Should you have any questions you can contact the Assessor-Recorder's office at (209) 533-5535. Written by bill.johnson@mlode.com Email this story to a Friend !
