- Turning Around the Assessor's Office
-
This white paper outlines a management approach to getting the Assessor's Office on track again. The major components of my initiative include: Staff and Personnel; Information Systems; Internal Focus (Making Operational Systems Accountable); External Focus (Assessment Appeals and Discovery Program); and a Timeline for Success.
- The Commercial Tax Loophole and Property Tax Reform
-
San Francisco is losing hundreds of millions a year in property taxes, primarily by losing property reassessment battles with large corporations that can afford to spend millions to win a single assessment appeal and have their property taxes lowered. This paper explains the problem and proposes a solution to the revenue crisis San Francisco is experiencing.
