RE:
AUTHORIZATION OF TAX AGENT OR AGENCY SUBSTITUTION
FORM FOR ASSESSMENT, PROPERTY TAX OR APPEALS MATTER
Dear Property Owner:
The Authorization of Tax Agent or Agency Substitution form appears on the reverse side of this letter. It is being
sent/given to you at your request, or because your prior authorization has expired.
For your protection, the Office of the Assessor, the Assessment Appeals Board, the Auditor-Controller, and the Treasurer
and Tax Collector require your “certification by signature” and Tax Agent Registration Number effective July 1, 2013 on
the Authorization of Tax Agent or Agency Substitution form before a Tax Agent as defined in Los Angeles County Code
Section 2.165.010 (G) will be allowed to represent you in assessment, property tax, or appeals matters.
ASSESSMENT APPEALS BOARD
If this form is used for the Assessment Appeals Board, it must be attached to the original application for changed
assessment or a copy of a previously filed application must be attached for the Assessment Appeals Board to accept this
authorization. You can obtain an application for changed assessment from the Assessment Appeals Board at the address
or website above.
OFFICES OF THE ASSESSOR, THE AUDITOR-CONTROLLER, & THE TREASURER AND TAX COLLECTOR
With respect to matters pertaining to the Offices of the Assessor, the Auditor-Controller, and the Treasurer and Tax
Collector, your required “certification by signature” of an agent may be broad and general, or it may set limits on the
agent’s authority to act in your behalf.
This authorization is valid with the Assessor, the Auditor-Controller, and/or the Treasurer and Tax Collector for four years,
unless revoked earlier in writing, terminated by operation of law, or specified for a shorter time period. In the case of an
assessment appeal, the authorization is valid until final action on the appeal.
Should you wish to designate an agent, renew or modify your authorization or designate a new agent, please complete
the form and follow the instructions on the reverse side. This form may be used to authorize an agent to represent you
with the Assessor, the Auditor-Controller, the Assessment Appeals Board, and/or the Treasurer and Tax Collector (subject
to the limitations described above), or all four.
NOTE: The Assessment Appeals Board, under the authority of the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors, is a separate agency from that of the Office of the Assessor, the Auditor-Controller,
and the Treasurer and Tax Collector. The Assessor is an independent elected official. This form
has been created to be used by all four agencies as a convenience to property owners.
