LA County deadline to appeal: Monday, November 30, 2026
For Los Angeles County homeowners · Last day to appeal: Monday, Nov 30
Send us your address. We'll compare your home's tax value with real sales of similar homes near you, and tell you within 24 hours, free, whether it's worth asking the county to lower your bill.
Check my home for freeThe county sets values for millions of homes at once, mostly by computer. Nobody comes to look at yours. So it can get things wrong:
$780 a year doesn't sound like much until you add it up: $65 every month, $3,900 over five years. Each year you don't ask, you pay the higher bill. The 2026 deadline is Monday, November 30.
Your property tax is based on what your home would have sold for on January 1, 2026. California law lets you prove that with sales of similar homes nearby, as long as they sold close to that date.
So the strongest case a homeowner can bring is three to five real sales, side by side with your home, with the differences in size and condition accounted for. That's what our packet gives you.
And asking costs little. A review by the county Assessor is free. A formal appeal costs a $46 county fee.
We compare your home's tax value with recent sales of similar homes near you. You get the answer by email within 24 hours. It's free.
If the numbers show you're paying too much, you can order a ready-to-use packet for $49. We email it within 2 days.
Follow our simple step-by-step guide to file online. Most people finish in about 15 minutes. You don't need a lawyer.
We'd rather tell you now than take your money for nothing.

| What it costs you | Your time | |
|---|---|---|
| Do it all yourself | Free (plus a $46 county fee for a formal appeal) | Several hours finding and comparing sales |
| Use our packet | $49 one time (plus the county fee if you file a formal appeal) | About 15 minutes to file |
| Hire a full-service company | Often 25% to 50% of what you save | Almost none |
Full-service companies often keep 25% to 50% of your first year's savings. On the $780 example above, that's $195 to $390. Our packet is $49, and every dollar you save is yours.
Optional at checkout: rush delivery within 6 hours (+$19) and a hearing prep kit (+$29). Own more than one home? Change the quantity at checkout.
You only pay if there's a case. We send the $49 payment link only after the free check finds one. Money-back promise: before we send your packet, we run the full analysis. If recent comparable sales don't show your home is assessed at least 5% above its market value, you get a full refund instead.
Start with the free check5 quick steps, about 30 seconds. You'll see right away whether an appeal is likely to help.
You're asking the county to look at your value again. Only ask if the sales of similar homes show your value is too high. That's exactly what the free check tells you.
No. We're a small independent service. You can always file with the county yourself without us.
No. Homeowners file these forms themselves every year. We give you the proof and the steps. This isn't legal advice.
The county decides on its own schedule, often months later. If your value goes down, your bill is corrected.
The check is free, so you pay nothing. If you bought a packet and recent sales don't show your home is assessed at least 5% too high, we refund you in full and don't send a packet. We can't promise what the county decides, but we only send packets when the evidence clears that bar.
