Seven Property Owners Seek City Assessment Reductions
Seven property owners filed applications Monday to seek hearings before the Long Beach Board of Equalization on city property assessment reductions. The City Council will act as the board for five days starting next Monday at 10 am, with forms available at the city assessor and clerk offices in City Hall. The board can only review whether assessments are proper and equal to similar properties, not tax amounts. The major local hearing involves protests by firms over possessory interests in oil rights, with appearances anticipated by Friday, Aug. 18, though formal filings had not yet been made.
