Am I required to let the Assessor, or his agents, inspect my property after completing new construction, renovation, and/or additions?
No, your home is your private property and the Assessor cannot demand entry for the purpose of levying an assessment. However, the Assessor, or his agents, will request entry in order to verify information submitted in the building plans; to determine the degree of completion as of a certain date; and to aid in more equitably valuing the property. It is usually in everyone’s best interest that the Assessor is operating with the best information available and under the correct assumptions about a property’s features, degree of completion, and condition.
