The Ventura County Assessment Appeals Board on an administrative docket approved multiple stipulations and rescheduled a large number of pending appeals, mostly at the request of applicants or assessor staff.

The board approved stipulation agreements for several ROIC California LLC cases (items 177–181) that assessor staff said involve reductions exceeding $5,000,000. The board approved those stipulations after the assessor’s representative placed them on the regular agenda for approval.

Most of the hearing was taken up by requests to continue cases. Staff and applicants asked the board to postpone many matters while assessor auditors complete reviews or parties exchange information. Common new hearing dates selected by the board were Jan. 26, Feb. 9 and Mar. 23, 2026; in many continuances the board added a data proviso requiring any data requested by the assessor’s office be provided within 30 days of the rescheduled hearing date.

Several applications were denied due to lack of appearance after the clerk reported no confirmed check‑ins (the clerk identified specific application numbers in the agenda review). Staff also recorded several verbal withdrawals for applicants who chose to drop their appeals.

Administrative problems delayed action on at least one stipulation: assessor staff reported that an original stipulation was submitted on the wrong form, and the board rescheduled that item for an evaluation hearing on Feb. 9, 2026, to give the applicant time to correct the paperwork.

The board opened with roll call and the pledge and adjourned after completing the docket.

What happens next: Cases continued to those dates will return to the board for hearing on the new schedule; applicants who were denied for lack of appearance may refile or seek relief as allowed by the clerk’s office procedures.
