Madera County appeal application and conditional hearing fee. Fill the form online, then print, sign and deliver the original paper application with required documents and payment.
Before you start
- Information & documents · Application — original signature and paper delivery
- Print and sign the completed form, then mail or hand-deliver the original with the required fee and tax-bill copy. Online completion is not electronic filing. [6]
- Payments · Hearing fee — both exemption conditions
- The $200 hearing fee is waived only when both conditions hold: the property qualifies as an owner-occupied single-family home with that year’s homeowner exemption, and its owner represents themself. [7]
- Deadlines · 2026 regular assessment appeals only
- For Madera County’s 2026 regular assessment appeal, file July 2 through November 30, 2026. Other appeal types have separate, notice-based deadlines. [1]
- Information & documents · County-specific formal appeal application
- Use the BOE-305-AH application provided by the county where the property is located; a generic sample is not a valid filing. [2]
- Payments · Taxes while an appeal is pending
- Pay property taxes on time while an appeal is pending to avoid penalties and interest. Filing an appeal does not suspend tax payments. [3]
