Appeals

The CDTFA bills and collects the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Fee based on instructions from the CDPH Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch (CLPPB). Based on those instructions, the CDTFA sends feepayers a Notice of Determination for the amount specified by the CDPH.

File an Appeal – If you wish to contest a billing, you may file a petition for redetermination (appeal) through our online services system. Log in using your username and password and select the account for which you want to file an appeal. Select the More link under the I Want To section. Then select the File a Petition for Redetermination link and follow the prompts.

A petition for redetermination must be submitted within 30 days from the date the billing was mailed to you to be considered timely.

Additional Appeal Filing Options – You may also file an appeal using form CDTFA-416, Petition for Redetermination, or write a letter specifying the grounds for your petition.

The CDTFA will forward your appeal to the CDPH for determination. An appeal for reassessment or exemption from the fee requires additional filing with the CDPH. Contact the CDPH CLPPB for more information. The CDTFA will inform you of the results of your appeal.

Important! The filing of an appeal does not prevent accrual of interest. You are advised to pay the fee while the CDPH considers your appeal. Paying the fee does not affect consideration of your appeal.

You may email your appeal to Appeals Team or mail to:

Appeals and Data Analysis Branch (MIC 33)
