Riverside County Real Estate Appraisals

The Riverside County property appraiser is responsible for determining the value of your home for tax purposes. They are not responsible for the collection of the taxes, nor do they accept payments for your taxes. Their only responsibility is to determine how much you pay. The County of Riverside is in charge of the collection and all monies should be sent directly to them. If you have questions about your tax bill or feel it is incorrect then you may contact the Riverside Property Appraiser's Office and speak to them directly. In most cases the value of your home is determined by the sales price of your home when you purchased it. It will them increase by 2% a year unless you make changes to the size of the home by putting in an addition or adding a pool for example. This will then increase the value of your home possibly which in turn would increase the taxable value. If it is determined that the value of your home has increased due to the improvements you may receive a supplemental tax bill during the year. This will reflect the amount due to the county for the time that the property value was increased. You will pay 1% of the taxable value of your home in property taxes.

You may be eligible for tax exemptions so check with the property appraiser's office. Some of the exemptions that are available to the homeowners are a homestead exemption and a veteran's exemption. For those that own businesses or other property you will need to contact the assessor's office for other exemptions you may qualify for. There are certain programs that are available to senior citizens, disabled and blind citizens that are unable to pay their taxes. These people can apply for a postponement of taxes. Once approved the county will send them a certificate that they will need to sign and return. The taxes due will be kept in an account until the property is sold or the person passes away at which time the money will be paid back to the county from the sale of the home.
