The California State Board of Equalization will hold its annual meeting with the 58 county assessors at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 22 in conjunction with the October 2025 board meeting.
“California’s property tax system depends on the expertise and partnership of our county assessors,” said Chairman Ted Gaines. “By working together through forums like this annual meeting, the board and county assessors strengthen transparency, consistency and public trust in the assessment process while addressing the issues and challenges of property taxation statewide.”
By law, the BOE is required to meet with county assessors at least once a year to discuss issues related to administering property taxation and promoting uniformity statewide. Throughout the past year, the BOE and county assessors have met and worked closely together to address the administration of property tax exemptions, potential property tax incentives for affordable housing, assessment appeals training, and other issues related to property tax administration.
Topics for the upcoming meeting include a recap of 2025 and the priorities for 2026, an overview and update on the Assessors’ development of the Proposition 19 exclusions portal, and a follow-up regarding efficiencies achieved through the Assessment Appeals Board Work Group. This annual meeting will provide another opportunity to discuss further ways to strengthen the longstanding partnership.
The annual meeting will be livestreamed (httos://www.boe.ca.gov/meetings/) on the BOE
