Taxable Value

Question: Current market value of my property has falls below taxable value, What should I do?
I live in Northern California (Contra Costa County). Because of the Housing Crisis, I believe that the current market value of my property has falls below taxable value as shown on your tax bill.
I heard you can actually lower the Tax of the property, by filling out a form.
But, I do NOT know where the form or who i should contact with.Could someone give me some guideline or steps, which shows what I should do in order to lower my property tax?
Answer: Property taxes are assessed annualy at your local appraisal district office. Google your local appraisal district and log on to their site. You should be able to find a dispute form. Fill out the form and submit it. You will be called to stand in front of a dispute committee and explain your reason. You should be prepared to answer their questions.
There is a yearly deadline to dispute, find out what it is. Ours in Houston, TX was on June 2nd.
