The County Assessor is an elected official and constitutional officer,
who is charged by law with the responsibility of independent oversight and preparation
of the annual local property assessments, from which property taxes are derived.
The Office of the Assessor locates, inventories, and sets values for all taxable property
within Sutter County, with the exception of certain State-assessed properties and other
specified properties which are designated as exempt from taxation, by law.
Property values are set each year, as of January 1, which is also known as the lien date,
for property tax purposes. The complete compilation of property values is known as the
local assessment roll. The local assessment roll must be turned over to the County
Auditor-Controller on July 1, annually. The Auditor-Controller applies appropriate tax
rates to the assessed values. The County Treasurer-Tax Collector then issues tax bills.
The body of law governing the assessment of property throughout the state is the State
of California Revenue and Taxation Code. The laws are complex, ever-changing, and
sometimes perplexing. Regardless, it is the Assessor’s responsibility to interpret
these laws and to insure that they are fairly and uniformly applied in the assessment process.
If you have questions or concerns about your assessment, or about how the law might apply in
a specific situation potentially affecting your assessment, or if you just have a suggestion
about information you would like to see on our website, we encourage you to call, email, or
come into our office and speak with a member of our knowledgeable and helpful staff. We are
here to serve you.
