Protest Form

The button below is a downloadable Protest Form for paying property taxes, and an AB-26 form for a review of property tax assessments. The “Reason for Protest” on the Tax Payment form for most of our members will be “participating in a class action suit.” The cause numbers for the two class action suits are DV-18-60 and DV-18-113. You will want to include BOTH cause numbers on the Protest Form.
