County of Riverside Assessor County Clerk Recorder

The Riverside Assessor’s office breaks California and federal law by publicly displaying data that has been gathered confidentially from other property owners. They recklessly disregard the rights of their citizens to privacy as well as the right of tax appeal applicants to due process. Please contact the elected assessor, Peter Aldana, to express your disapproval of this undemocratic tactic.

Came here twice. Once to apply for our marriage license, and the second time to pick it up. No long lines or wait around 2pm; note: if you fill out your applications online before hand, you can cut down your time at the building. Also, to apply for your marriage license (or fictitious business… I was being nosy) the appropriate building is next to the main office.
The employees were professional and had welcoming personalities. The lady who helped with our marriage license application was fun.

I waited months to have my base year assessment appeal heard. I watched as others had their appeals heard prior to mine. Many were not prepared with the comparatives they were to have to prove their case. I was prepared. Not only did my comparatives substantiate my position to have my base year tax assessment reduce, but the County’s appraiser who pulled comparatives to refute my case ALSO substantiated my position! After hearing others before me that were not prepared have their tax reduced, I get a letter today stating they denied my request. Their highest comparative was almost $ 40 less a square foot than what my home was valued at. The comparatives (including their appraisers comps) included homes that were anywhere from $ 100 less per square foot to $ 40 per square foot. And yet they did not approve a readjustment? Perhaps it was because, although no one else was queried on what they did for a living, I was drilled on the fact that I’m a realtor. I guess if you are a realtor, mortgage banker, appraiser or anyone else ‘in the business’ you should not expect equal treatment under the laws of the assessment board. Mr. Conroy (appraiser for the county) shame on you, Clerk of the Board shame on you, Riverside County SHAME ON YOU!

My fiancée and I came here today to get our marriage license. We walked in at 11:20 am and we were out the door by 11:45 am without an appointment. The lady that helped us out was very nice and helpful. I filled everything out before hand so we were all ready to go. I read the reviews on this office before we came and it definitely lived up to the reviews. The office was clean and quite. I am very glad that we had a pleasant experience and did not have to go to an actual court house. They always tend to be busy.

Fast and friendly service. The direct number to this office is (951) 486‑7406. The number they have in the website is NOT a direct number.

How many county employees does it take to print a marriage certificate?- THREE! Oh, and it’s taken them 17 minutes and counting. Its so ridiculous that I can’t help but laugh at the incompetence.

I was in and out to get my sons birth certificate. Everyone was nice, helpful and the place was clean without any commotion.

Awesome service
A lot easier than Los Angeles and a little less crowded. The girls inside answered and helped me out with filing my lien and couldn’t be happier to get that out of the way. Now I sit and wait for my money. And I’m a patient man.
Easy access in and out and very friendly atmosphere by the way

I’m applying for my marriage license so of course this place gets 5 stars.
Anyway, we didn’t have to make an appointment so this is a plus.

My husband and I were married here on December 31, 2013 and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. After going over the options of having the «big, fancy wedding» we decided it wasn’t within reach financially. This office is very clean, friendly staff, and the room where ceremonies are held is very cute! Beautiful wooden benches for guests to sit and a very private area. Not what you would expect for a Civil Ceremony. It was simple and sweet. If you don’t have the funds for a huge wedding, I highly recommend getting married here. Not only that, but my marriage license was available within 2 weeks of the ceremony– bonus!

Got our marriage license!!!
The lady at window number 9 was amazing! Super helpful, very friendly and was just as excited for us to be getting our license as we were to be getting it!
Wait time was nill… walked it, turned in our filled out paperwork, and we were moved to our favorite window number 9 friend!
Only thing you need to know is that it is cash/​check/​debit… no Visa… I wanted my points… :(haha…
Other than that… nothing you need to know other than have your paper done and ready to go and you will be out quick!

It may not be the most romantic or exciting place in the world, but my husband and I got married here in 2007. The room they have for civil ceremonies was very simple and not that bad to look at. It’s set up to seat a bunch of people — up to forty, I think. We just had our parents there, so I know it sat at least three!
The lady who performed our ceremony was very nice, friendly, and professional. (For that matter, everyone at the clerk’s office for marriage license paperwork was, too.) You have to call to make an appointment ahead of time, and the people I dealt with were very patient with my questions, and very nice.
To this day, most people we talk to don’t understand why we wanted a civil ceremony… but if it’s what you’re looking for, the facilities at Riverside aren’t bad. They only do weekday marriages now, so that’s a little weird, but it gets the job done! (Come to think of it, we got married on a Monday!)
