Santa Clara County Office of the Assessor

Responsible for annual assessed valuation of all real and business property within Santa Clara County

The Assessor's Office is responsible for the annual assessed valuation of all real and business personal property within Santa Clara County. Each year the professional staff of the County Assessor's Office provides accurate assessments of all secured and unsecured property. The assessment roll, which includes more than 500,000 roll units of real property and business assessments, is the basis upon

which property taxes are levied. Property taxes, in turn, provide an essential source of revenue to support basic public services provided by schools and local governments, which serve as the basic foundation of our region's quality of life. The Assessor has the responsibility to locate all taxable property in the County, identify ownership, establish a value for all property subject to local property taxation, list the value of all property on the assessment roll, and apply all legal exemptions. Contrary to popular opinion the Santa Clara County Assessor does not compute property tax bills, collect property taxes, establish property tax laws, set rules by which property is appraised, or set property tax rates.

The August 8 FREE informal review request deadline is fast approaching! If you are a property owner in Santa Clara County, you should have received your Notification of Assessed Value (NAV) card in early July. Why is that important? The NAV card tells you the Factored Base Year Value or “assessed value” as of January 1, 2026, which is the basis of your property tax bill. If you disagree with the assessed value on your property, you have until August 8 to request a FREE informal review before your tax bill is generated. To find out more about the Temporary Decline in Market Value (Proposition 8) process, visit the Assessor's website at https://asr.santaclaracounty.gov/online-services/decline-in-value/decline-in-value-request
