Although the primary purpose of the San Francisco Association of REALTORS® is to offer business services and legislative representation to REALTORS® in San Francisco and surrounding areas, it also provides a variety of information services to the public to strengthen the connection between REALTORS® and consumers. Those services are described below.

District/Subdistrict Map

The district/subdistrict map, a longtime staple of the MLS operated by the San Francisco Association of REALTORS®, was last updated in 2009. The map defines neighborhoods and subneighborhoods, albeit unofficially, to allow listed properties to be searched by district and subdistrict, instead of street name or map coordinates. The boundary lines and district/subdistrict descriptions that were changed on the map most recently reflect changes in the nature and feel of the city’s neighborhoods.

Office of the Assesor-Recorder
San Francisco, CA
Monday, July 20, 2009

“Today Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting announced his office granted a temporary reduction in assessed value to 9,997 homes in San Francisco, which is allowed under state law (Proposition 8) if the current market value is lower than the assessed value. This is the first time since the mid-1990s the Assessor’s office has proactively issued widespread reductions. Despite the reductions, the total 2009 property assessment roll grew 6.98 percent from last year totaling $151.96 billion, which represents secured and unsecured real property and business personal property less exemptions.”
