Welcome to the Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder website. Our site is designed to provide you with easy access to and information on the many services our office provides to the citizens of Riverside County. We understand property owners have concerns regarding the current real estate crisis and the impact it may have on their property taxes. Property tax law provides certain protections for taxpayers when property values decline. Under Proposition 8, qualifying properties will be given a temporary reduction in their taxable value which translates into a lower property tax. We have put together a Prop 8 page which provides information, applications, and other useful links to answer many of your questions. Our goal as the A-C-R is to be proactive in recognizing reductions in your property's value and to ensure that no property owner pays more than their fair share of property taxes. We hope you find this information timely and useful.
Please feel free to contact me about this site or any other matter of concern.

Public Notice: U.S. Census 2010
The U.S. Census will have a vital effect on Riverside County finances for the next decade. For each resident counted, about $12,000 in federal funding becomes available at the local level. That means that if the census misses 1% of Riverside County residents, we could lose $240 million at the local level over a decade. Be sure to be counted, it's in our hands.
