Walk the Home with the Assessor
Many individuals allow the tax assessor to wander about their homes unguided during the evaluation process. This can be a mistake. Some assessors will only see the good points in the home – the new fireplace or the beautiful new faucets that adorn each sink. They’ll overlook the fact that other appliances in the home are out of date, and that the roof is warped and needs replacing.
To prevent this from happening, be sure to walk the home with the assessor and point out the good points as well as the deficiencies. This will ensure that you receive the fairest possible valuation for your home.
