I discovered the County Assessor does very little to reach out to working people. When people aren't fully educated about a process as complicated as tax assessment it means they are most likely paying more than their fair share of property taxes. That's fundamentally unfair and needs to be fixed.I want to be known as the first Assessor in Los Angeles County history that's not just a bureaucrat but a true advocate for working families and tax payers.
I want the County Assessor's Office to be more open to the public. I want people to be able to at the click of a button or a quick call to fully understand how their property is assessed and how they can lower their taxes.
