How to Reach the Editorial Team
Got a correction, a question, a press request, or a privacy inquiry? You’re in the right place. This page sets out the right channel for each kind of message and what to expect from us in response.
If your assessed value seems wrong, your homestead exemption hasn’t been applied, your TRIM notice shows numbers you don’t agree with, or you need a value-adjustment hearing — that’s your county property appraiser, county assessor, or appraisal district, not us. We do not value property, do not have access to county systems, and do not represent any government office. The county’s contact info is on every county page.
Pick the Right Subject Line
All inquiries go through one inbox: info@property-appraisers.org. Putting the right subject line on your message gets it to the right person fastest.

- The page URL on property-appraisers.org/ you're referring to (if relevant)
- The county and state your question relates to, if it’s location-specific
- What you expected to find or what you think is wrong
- If possible, the link from the county or state’s official site that supports the correction
- A contact email so we can reply (we don’t share your email — see our Privacy Policy)
If you can include the link from the county property appraiser, county assessor, appraisal district, or state DOR that contradicts our page, we can verify and update without going through a search ourselves. That cuts the response time roughly in half.
What We Cannot Help With
| If you need… | Go to… |
|---|---|
| To file a property tax appeal | Your county property appraiser, county assessor, or appraisal district — every county page links to the appeal procedure and the state value-adjustment board / appraisal review board where applicable |
| To apply for a homestead, senior, or veteran exemption | The county’s exemption application page (linked from each county profile) |
| To pay your property tax bill | Your county Tax Collector or Treasurer — that’s a different office from the appraiser/assessor |
| To order a certified copy of a property record | The county recorder, register of deeds, or county clerk — depending on the state |
| To get a USPAP-compliant private appraisal for a mortgage | A licensed real estate appraiser — find one through your state’s Real Estate Appraiser Commission directory |
| Property tax relief for hardship | State or county tax-relief programs (varies widely); the state Department of Revenue is the starting point |
| To address an exemption denial | The county’s denial-letter instructions; consider a property tax attorney or consultant for significant amounts |
| Free legal aid for low-income homeowners | State or local legal-aid programs; Legal Services Corporation for referrals |
| Privacy complaint about a U.S. business | The relevant state Attorney General; California residents may also use the California Privacy Protection Agency |
How We Operate
PropertyAppraisers.org is a digital-only publication. We don’t have a physical office open to the public, do not accept walk-in visitors, and do not publish a postal address for general correspondence. Email is the way to reach us.
If a postal address is required for a specific legal or regulatory purpose (formal legal service that cannot be made by email), please email us first and we will provide the appropriate address.
What We Won’t Engage With
- Abusive, threatening, or harassing messages — these are not acted on and may be reported to authorities where appropriate
- Bulk SEO outreach, link-insertion requests, and “guest post” pitches that aren’t relevant to property tax administration
- Requests to remove factual statements about a county or state agency that are accurate and properly sourced
- Requests to remove the names of government property appraisers or assessors who are public officials and named in their own published materials
- Pay-for-coverage offers from property tax consultants, appeal-filing services, or licensed real estate appraisal firms — see our Editorial Policy
- Generic marketing emails, sales pitches, and unsolicited proposals not specific to our work
