Assessor

Jesse Salinas

Jesse Salinas was elected Assessor/Clerk-Recorder by the people of Yolo County on June 5, 2018 and re-elected in 2022.

The Assessor is an official elected for a four-year term. This office is responsible for appraisals of all real and personal property in the County, except public utility property, which is appraised by the State Board of Equalization. 

The Assessor maintains records on business and real property characteristics and sales. Annually the Assessor prepares the local assessment roll identifying each property, the ownership, and the net taxable value. The tax roll is presented to the Auditor-Controller on or before July 1st of each year.

Dear Property Owner:

It is an honor to serve as your County Assessor. Our office believes the public has the right to know what we do and why we do it. Many property tax laws have changed in the last several years. This web page is part of our continuing effort to keep Yolo County property owners aware of their rights and responsibilities.

Assessing property is a big business. The Yolo County Assessment Roll is nearly $40 billion.

Our office is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Come in to speak with a member of the Assessor's office staff if you have questions or would like further clarification of any points on this page.
