ABOUT ASSESSMENT COUNSELLING SERVICES

At ACS we specialize in California real property tax, personal property tax, and city business license tax representation. Our firm aggressively represents our clients before the Assessor’s Office, Auditor-Controller, Tax Collector, Assessment Appeals Board and State board of Equalization. We provide expert analysis and representation, ensuring that the interests of our clients are well served.

We encourage you to review our firm’s roster of property tax consultants. You will immediately discover that most of us formerly worked for a County Assessor’s Office and all of us have substantial years of experience in the property tax field. We bring our diverse experience and knowledge to a complex and adversarial process. We “speak the same language” as the Assessor, so there is not a learning curve as to how we spend our time analyzing and implementing our strategy in reducing your over assessment.

Since 1987 our firm has represented thousands of taxpayers ranging in size from multi-billion dollar corporations to private individuals. As a result of our expertise and broad range of experience, we have obtained millions of dollars in refunds and tax savings for our clients.
