How are assessments figured without an interior inspection of my home?
Assessments are based on the taxable portion of your property’s fair market value. Although many states have legislation that requires property owners to allow government assessment officials access to their property, this is usually not enforced by local jurisdictions. Instead, due diligence is performed in viewing a property via road side inspections, street level, ortho., and oblique photography, as well as questionnaire mailers, deed inspections, market data publications, GIS data, and information obtained through property appeals.
