How to grieve in the City of Long Beach

  2. File with ARC between January 4–March 1, 2027. One filing covers county, town, and school taxes. It is free, and you can file online through AROW.
  3. File separately with the City for city taxes. The City of Long Beach assesses property for city taxes on its own roll. Owners file a grievance with the City Assessor in January; for the 2026 roll the window ran January 2 through January 20. City details.
  4. Wait for ARC’s decision, then SCAR if you need it. If ARC doesn’t lower your assessment enough, Small Claims Assessment Review is the next step.
