Department: Assessor - Recorder
Job class: 1822-Administrative Analyst
Salary range: $104,494.00 - $127,062.00
Role type: Permanent Exempt What does this mean?
Hours: Full-time

About:

The Office of the Assessor-Recorder is responsible for carrying out property tax-related functions governed by the State Constitution and State and local laws. Our core responsibilities include locating all taxable property in the City and County of San Francisco, identifying ownership, establishing a taxable value, and applying all legal exemptions. Property broadly includes both real property and personal property owned by businesses. The Office of the Assessor-Recorder is also responsible for recording documents and maintaining those public records. Over 400 different types of documents are recorded annually, including deeds of trust, reconveyances, liens, and public marriage licenses. The Office is also responsible for collecting any transfer tax due upon a change in property ownership. The Office of the Assessor-Recorder strives to conduct our work with the core principals of professionalism and integrity.

What We Do

Heightened activity in the real estate and business markets means increased demand for the work of our office. Every year, property tax revenue remains the largest single source of funding for the City’s General Fund revenue, representing over $2.4 Billion in Fiscal Year 2020-21. This revenue funds crucial services like public safety, education, neighborhood improvements, and health and family support services. This past year, the dedicated work of the Assessor-Recorder staff to close the property tax roll represented a cumulative value of over $328 Billion and generating over $3.7 Billion dollars in local revenues. This is due in part to strong growth in the real estate market, additional construction across San Francisco, and our office’s efforts in increasing efficiency. In recent years, we have taken significant steps toward modernizing our operations, including kicking off a multi-organization effort aimed at modernizing City-wide Property Assessment & Taxation Systems (Project SMART). Project SMART (System for Managing Assessments, Records and Transactions) is a multi-year project to replace our legacy property assessment system that manages the City’s $328 Billion in assessed property value. The new system will handle all aspects of assessment functions and will be able to integrate with other City systems, specifically the Office of the Treasurer & Tax Collector and the City Controller's Office..

Role description

Our Commitment to Racial Equity

The San Francisco Office of the Assessor-Recorder (ASR) is firmly committed to an equitable, safe, and inclusive workplace. We believe that creating an equitable, safe, and inclusive workplace means pursuing an actively anti-racist environment where employees are welcome and able to grow and thrive. We recognize that discussing issues of inequity, race, and racism are difficult, especially in the workplace. However, we also recognize that embracing this discomfort and evaluating how status quo policies and practices have led to disparate outcomes, especially along racial lines, is an important part of achieving our goal of advancing a more equitable workplace.

The office is equally committed to advancing racial equity and justice through our community engagement efforts. Vast differences exist when it comes to economic outcomes experienced by race. We believe that public financial institutions, such as ours, can lead the way in providing resources and opportunities for our most vulnerable communities, including our immigrant, Black/African American, and Latinx communities.
