San Benito County application and fees. Electronic copies are supplemental documents; the county page conflicts on paper-delivery methods, so confirm the accepted route with the Clerk.
Before you start
- Availability · Electronic copies — supplemental only
- An electronic copy is supplemental and does not by itself file the appeal. Confirm the paper-delivery method with the Clerk because the county page gives conflicting instructions. [6]
- Information & documents · Copies accompanying the application
- The county requests three photocopies of each appeal with its application. [7]
- Deadlines · 2026 regular assessment appeals only
- For San Benito County’s 2026 regular assessment appeal, file July 2 through November 30, 2026. Other appeal types have separate, notice-based deadlines. [1]
- Information & documents · County-specific formal appeal application
- Use the BOE-305-AH application provided by the county where the property is located; a generic sample is not a valid filing. [2]
- Payments · Taxes while an appeal is pending
- Pay property taxes on time while an appeal is pending to avoid penalties and interest. Filing an appeal does not suspend tax payments. [3]
