County Assessor Office’s Division Chief Serving in Statewide Post

The San Diego County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk (ARCC) Office has announced that Robert Gomez, ARCC division chief for assessment services, has been elected to serve as president of the California Assessors’ Administrative Services Association (CAASA) for the 2024 and 2025 calendar years. Gomez will serve in the role for a two-year term in a volunteer capacity.

CAASA is a statewide industry trade group whose members are administrators who work at county assessors offices for California’s 58 counties. The group meets regularly to discuss business procedures at county assessors’ offices throughout the state, according to Gomez.

A third-generation native of Orange County, Gomez worked for 16 years (1999-2015) for the Orange County Assessors Office as a managing assessment technician. He joined the San Diego County ARCC office in November 2015 as a manager in the Assessment Services Division. He was promoted to his current division chief position in August 2021.

“The members of CAASA are always working towards continuous improvement and implementing best practices,” Gomez said. “This group is one way we keep in touch with each other and become aware of how administrators in other counties are approaching their work.”

“We’re very proud of Robert’s willingness to serve in this statewide capacity,” said Jordan Z. Marks, San Diego County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk (ARCC). “I know that this group will greatly benefit from Robert’s leadership skills.”

The San Diego County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk (ARCC) Office, with more than 450 employees and five offices in San Diego County, oversees assessing the value of real estate and personal property, which in San Diego includes planes and boats. Property taxes constitute the largest share of revenue for the county. The office is responsible for the recording of all legal real estate documents, as well as registering business names and issuing marriage licenses, birth and death certificates. Nearly every county resident who owns property or rents is affected by what happens at the ARCC office. Assessor Jordan Marks, a countywide elected official, serves as the San Diego County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk. He was elected to a four year term in November 2022.
