Board reopens Justine Oliver’s appeal after no‑show denial; applicant given time to submit Prop 19 paperwork

The Ventura County Assessment Appeals Board vacated a denial and reopened the case for Justine Oliver (application 2311684) after staff flagged a lack of confirmation of attendance. Oliver told the board she had recently had a car accident and other health problems and had not realized she needed to submit a confirmation 30 days before the hearing.

Assessor staff told the board they had mailed an application for a Prop 19 exclusion to Oliver and offered assistance; the assessor agreed to a continuance while staff reviews returned paperwork. The board continued the matter to March 23, 2026 with a 30‑day data proviso and discussed the option of a one‑ or two‑year waiver to extend appeal timelines if necessary.

Oliver said she would try to complete the required materials and indicated she could provide paperwork within 30 days; assessor staff and board members encouraged her to work with assessor staff before the next hearing.

Next steps: If paperwork is received and processed, the matter may resolve without a hearing; if not, the case will return for hearing on March 23 or be subject to the chosen waiver.
