Key November Deadlines Explained

California - November 30 (Window Closes)

California's Assessment Appeals Board filing window closes November 30. If you received your assessment notice in July-August and believe your property is overvalued, this is your last chance to file for the 2026 tax year.

Do not wait until November 30. File this week. Last-minute filings risk being rejected for errors or incomplete information. If you have been preparing since September, submit your application now.

Remember: California hearings can take 6-18 months to schedule after filing, especially in large counties like Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange County. But the potential savings make the wait worthwhile. A successful appeal can result in a refund for the entire period from filing to decision.

Oregon - Approaching December 31

Oregon notices arrived in October. If you have been reviewing your notice and gathering evidence, November is the time to finalize and file. You still have until December 31, but filing early gives you breathing room.

Oregon's system includes both "real market value" and "assessed value" due to Measure 50 limitations. Focus on whether the real market value exceeds what your home would actually sell for. Even small reductions in real market value can prevent future tax increases.

November Payment Deadlines

State	What Is Due	Date	Notes
Florida	Full payment (4% early discount)	November 1	Discount decreases each month: 3% Dec, 2% Jan, 1% Feb, full amount by March 31
Montana	Full tax payment or first installment	November 30	Second installment (if split) due May 31

Wyoming	First installment	November 10	Second installment due May 10

Florida Early Payment Discount

Florida offers one of the best early payment incentives in the country. If you pay your full tax bill in November, you get a 4% discount. The discount decreases each month:

• November: 4% discount
• December: 3% discount
• January: 2% discount
• February: 1% discount
• March: full amount due

On a $5,000 tax bill, paying in November saves $200 compared to paying in March. If you have the cash available, it is a guaranteed return.

But if you filed a VAB petition and are expecting a reduction, you have a decision: pay the full discounted amount now and get a refund if you win, or wait and risk missing the discount. Most homeowners find it better to pay early, take the discount, and receive the refund later.

What to Do in November

If You Are in California

File your appeal now if you have not already. November 30 is a hard deadline with no extensions. To file:

1. Complete the Assessment Appeal Application
2. Include your property address, parcel number, current assessed value, and your opinion of value

If You Are Paying This Month

November has more payment deadlines than most months. Before paying:

• Verify the amount on your bill matches your assessment
• Check for any available early payment discounts (Florida, Oregon)
• Keep your receipt or confirmation number
• If paying through escrow, review your lender's escrow analysis to make sure the correct amount is being collected

If Your Appeal Season Is Over

If you missed your 2026 appeal deadline, November is a good time to start preparing for 2027:

• Set calendar reminders for next year's notice and deadline dates
• Begin tracking comparable sales in your neighborhood

• Review end-of-year planning steps
