Terms

Fees and when we bill

• One-time fee. For each exemption a district or agency approves, our fee is half of that line's first-year saving. (Some campaigns use a third instead of a half; the figure we show you before you sign is the one that applies.)
• Minimum. There is a $39 minimum per household, except when the Open Space Authority's Measure D is the only line we file; then there is no minimum.
• Only after approval. We bill only after the district or agency approves the exemption. If a line is not approved, there is no fee for it.
• No card. We never ask for a card or payment details when you sign up.
• Nothing in later years. You pay once. After that you keep the full saving every year.
• Annual re-filing. Where a district requires the exemption to be filed again every year, we re-file it for you at no charge.
• Homeowners' Exemption. When your bill is missing it, we file it for free with any paid filing.

Your authorization

When you tick the authorization box and type your name, you authorize Check My Taxes to prepare and submit the parcel-tax exemption forms for the address you signed up for, and to contact the districts and agencies about them on your behalf. If you are helping a parent or relative, you confirm that you are signing on behalf of the owner you name and that they agree.

We record your typed name, the date and time, your IP address and browser, and the version of these terms, as the record of your signature. District forms that need the owner's own signature come later, on your status page or by post, depending on the district.

Cancelling

You can cancel at any time before an exemption is approved by calling or emailing us. Nothing is owed for a line that has not been approved.
