THIS IS A CITYWIDE EXAM. San Francisco is a vibrant and dynamic city, on the forefront of economic growth & innovation, urban development, arts & entertainment, as well as social issues & change. This rich tapestry of culture and ideas is sustained by our City’s commitment to heighten the quality of life for the diverse population of San Franciscans and residents of the greater Bay Area. Our employees play an important role not only in making our City what it is today, but also in shaping the future of San Francisco.
Our Office
The Office of the Assessor-Recorder is responsible for fairly and accurately executing property assessment functions in accordance with the State Constitution and State and local laws. Our core responsibilities include identifying all taxable property in the City and County of San Francisco, establishing a taxable value, and applying all legal exemptions. Property broadly includes real property as well as personal property owned by businesses.
The Office is also responsible for recording documents and securing public records. We ensure each document meets recording requirements and make them accessible to the public. We record over 400 different types of documents annually, including deeds of trust, reconveyances, liens, maps, and public marriage certificates.
Additionally, the Office is responsible for collecting any transfer tax due upon a change in property ownership. We perform audits to ensure the correct property value basis for taxation.
In all that we do we seek to advance the values of fairness, care, equity, and excellence in service to our diverse constituents and communities.
What We Do
We’re proud of our work to ensure the financial stability of San Francisco. Each year we prepare an assessment roll that reflects the taxable values of land, improvements, and personal property. The assessment roll is the basis for
San Francisco’s property tax revenue. We enroll property tax value by discovering new construction or changes in ownership. The work of our Office in enrolling property valued at $344 billion generates $4 billion in property tax revenue for the City and County of San Francisco. Property tax revenue represents over one-third of the City’s General Fund which pays for crucial services ranging from public safety, affordable housing, and education to neighborhood improvements and health and family support services. In the years ahead, our Office will work closely with the Assessment Appeals Board to respond to the rising appeals workload and ensure that fair and accurate value is enrolled.
Our success is grounded by our Office’s investment in our people, systems, services, and engagement. We prioritize a climate and culture where belonging and inclusion are advanced, staff can be their authentic selves and pursue pathways for career growth, and diverse constituencies are equitably supported with a meaningful and seamless experience through care in customer service and efficient technology systems. In line with these values, we are taking significant steps to modernize our operations, including leading a cross-departmental effort to replace the legacy property assessment system currently used to manage the City’s hundreds of billion…
