Tulare County appeals board reorganizes leadership, adjusts 2026 calendar and accepts withdrawal calendar
Summary
The Tulare County Assessment Appeals Board elected leadership for the coming year, approved changes to the 2026 meeting calendar (swapping May/June and moving the October meeting), accepted the September 2025 withdrawal calendar and voted to continue one application; motions passed unanimously.
The Tulare County Assessment Appeals Board reorganized its leadership, approved changes to next year’s meeting calendar, accepted a withdrawal calendar and continued one application during a meeting that opened at 9 a.m.
Board members nominated and voted to elect Brad Maske as chairman and Erica Pine as vice chairman for the coming year. The motion was moved and seconded and carried by the board.
Members then discussed the proposed 2026 assessment-appeals calendar. After exchanges about tax deadlines and staff workload, the board agreed to swap the third-Thursday June meeting to the third Thursday in May (effectively canceling June in favor of May) and to move the October meeting to October 22 at 9 a.m. The board voted to make those changes.
The board also accepted the September 2025 withdrawal calendar as presented and accepted hearing stipulations for Tesla Energy Operations Inc. (docketed under several assessment application numbers) as read into the record. A motion was made and seconded to postpone—i.e., continue—agenda item number 7 as presented on the calendar; that motion carried as well.
All procedural motions reported in the meeting were moved, seconded and recorded as carrying with the board answering “aye.”
