Assessed Values and the Tax Roll in Simi Valley
The County Assessor sets the value each parcel in Simi Valley is taxed on and keeps the parcel maps. Under Proposition 13 a property's assessed value is set when it changes hands and can rise no more than 2 percent a year after that, so a home owned for decades is often assessed far below its market value.
