BACKGROUND:
In order to equalize the local tax assessment roll, the Assessment Appeals Board ("AAB") is charged with hearing appeals to property tax assessments. In accordance with state law, a local AAB may lower or increase individual assessments as appropriate. Members of an AAB must have a minimum of five years professional experience in the State of California as a certified public accountant or public accountant, a licensed real estate broker, an attorney, or a property appraiser accredited by a nationally recognized professional organization.
Pursuant to County Ordinance section 2.92.030 and state law, the Board of Supervisors directly appoints the members of the AAB to renewable three-year terms.

Commissioner Donald McVey has served on the Assessment Appeals Board since 2017 and is being recommended for a fourth 3-year term ending June 30, 2029, for his dedicated service to the AAB. He currently serves as Chair. His prior reappointment from October 2023 inadvertently listed a 4-year expiry of September 2027.

Commissioner McVey is a Certified Public Accountant licensed in the State of California since 1983. He is a graduate of San Francisco State University, retired in 2013 as the Director of Finance and Administrative Services for the City of Daly City, serving in that position for 26 years. Resp...
