[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what about a mismatch on square footage in the tax records and actual square footage?  would that be worth correcting?  I see lots of posts on this board complaining about houses being listed as 3000 square feet when the tax records have them at 2000 square feet (although some of that is people claiming their below ground basements etc.)

Are you kidding me? Builders used to file papers stating that the work they were doing was valued at virtually nothing just so they could fool the tax man.
Our neighbors two story addition never registered with moco - even though they inspected it. Their taxes have been half of  what they should be for 10 years now.

Our house was mischaracterized the other way - as much bigger and more luxurious than it is (it's an old disaster) because the stupid builder who built our little addition had the county inspecyofcfo thst because he thought it would get him more business. Something like the little crap addition I built on this house was so great the county appraised it for 100k extra I'm so great!

It literally took us 10 years and thousands of dollars (for an advocate who actually did nothing for us but we hired her because we weren't getting anywhere) to fix it and we weee paying an extra 2k in property taxes a year all that time.

Don't be an idiot - do not call the tax/appraisal people.

It is a shame that montgomery county md has under appraised so many houses as they could have a lot more revenue if they fixed it - but even when they come out and inspect (like my neighbors house) they get it wrong so leave it alone. [/quote]
