We are in receipt of your public records request and need clarification on the specific documents you are seeking. To provide 20 years of assessments of all our parcels will cost approximately $300. Are there other documents you would like to request?

Thank you,

Dear Ms. Watson,

Thank you very much for your reply. When you say it would cost $300 for 20 years of assessments, does that refer to the values that are the output of the assessment process?

I am attempting to acquire information about the inputs to the assessment process - i.e. what statistical software is run & what years of sales data is the input data to calculating the assessed values. Would it be possible to get a quote for either 1) a document providing a detailed description of the calculation of the assessed values or 2) the scripts ("code") in the statistical software program actually used to make the calculations?

Thank you very much! Feel free to respond via email or you can reach me at 708-420-7259.

Best,
Lucy

Good morning Ms. Msall,

Thank you for contacting the Orange County Property Appraiser's office. Once we receive the payment of $300 per your attached data request letter, I will send the files to you via Dropbox. Please note that we do not add or remove fields from our file. Attached is our 204s file layout with the fields that are included.

All data requests must be prepaid; we only accept credit cards if paying in person, but unfortunately due to the Covid-19, our main office is still closed to the public. Make check payable to: Orange County Property Appraiser (checks made out to OCPA will be returned).

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you,
Denise
