You should read the other postings in this thread--people are upset because their assessments are coming back at last year's level and do not reflect the prices in the market shifting downward--people want lower assessments so that their TAXES will be lower. Refinances and sales are done of independent appraiser reports not off county tax assessments so, county tax assessments don't affect sales and refinances (those are most affected by comps). Before you get all crappy, get your facts straight.

I am the OP - I posted because my assessment is TOO HIGH - I don't want to pay taxes on a property that is appraised at $150,000 - $200,000 higher than what comps are being listed at - that's not an insignificant amount of taxes to pay each year.
