Los Angeles County homeowners
Is the county taxing your home at a value it won't sell for?
Many homes are assessed above what they would sell for today. We compare your assessed value with recent nearby sales for free. If the numbers support an appeal, we send a ready-to-file evidence packet for $49.
Result by email within 24 hours. No payment for the check.

|---|---|---|---|
| Decline-in-Value Review | County Assessor | RP-87 | Free |

Questions
Before you start
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. We prepare evidence and filing instructions. You decide whether to appeal and you file it yourself. For advice on your situation, talk to a licensed attorney or tax professional.
Are you connected to Los Angeles County?
No. We are an independent service. You can file an appeal yourself for free or for the county fee without using us.
Can my taxes go up if I appeal?
An appeal asks the county to review your value. Read the county's own guidance before filing, and file only if the evidence supports a lower value.
When will I know the result?
The Assessor or the Appeals Board decides on its own schedule. Formal appeal hearings in LA County often take place months after filing.
What if you find no over-assessment?
The check is free, so you pay nothing. If you bought a packet and we find no supporting evidence, you get a full refund.
