Petrie Williams, an applicant who appeared in person at the Dec. 8 Ventura County Assessment Appeals Board No. 2 meeting, told the board she believes a prior court filing related to her case contains a perjured statement and said she needs time to correct the record.

"When we sent the refi papers that were clearly refi, the entire case was based on a perjured statement that Miss George did to the superior court," Williams said, describing why she needs to gather documents and possibly refile in court. She asked the board for guidance and additional time to assemble evidence.

Assessor’s Office staff confirmed they are communicating with Williams and that county counsel is preparing findings; staff said they have given the applicant an informal decision and will notify her in writing when timelines for filing court actions begin. The board voted to continue the appeal to March 9, 2026, with a standard 30-day data proviso so the assessor can review additional documentation if it is submitted.

The board and staff did not adjudicate the perjury allegation at the hearing; county counsel and the clerk will follow up with the applicant on the official written decision and next steps.
