JOAQUÍN TORRES

My occupation is Assessor-Recorder.

My qualifications are:

Since my election I’ve worked hard to ensure the Assessor’s office provides high-quality services residents and businesses depend on, and secure the financial resources that fund our city services.

To improve online access we’re uploading 3.7 million additional records, expanding access to documents back to 1980. 

To better serve the public, provide transparency, and reduce revenue at risk, our office has launched technology upgrades and a community portal for views into assessments. 

Our transfer tax audit program ensures large corporations pay their fair share, recovering millions of dollars annually.

To strengthen financial resilience for low- and moderate-income communities, and monolingual and immigrant families, we’ve expanded online educational resources with the Family Wealth Series. 

To help Black, brown, and AAPI communities harmed by historic zoning and lending discrimination , our office created an Estate Plan Program, providing 100 free to low-cost plans to underserved neighborhoods, helping residents build equity and assets for generations.  

I ask for your vote to continue serving the people of San Francisco, ensuring quality customer service, and increased transparency, integrity, and equity.

I’m endorsed by:

Speaker Nancy Pelosi

U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein

Governor Gavin Newsom

State Treasurer Fiona Ma

Mayor London Breed

Senator Scott Wiener

Assemblymember Phil Ting

Board of Supervisors President Shamann Walton
