About two years ago...I was working in garage....car pulled up...it was County Tax Assessor.....nice lady.....we got to talking and I asked her what could I do to help her.....she said...."I want to take a look at your new patio out back.".......I asked her how she knew and she said....."Oh...by the satellite photo...and also you have a red metal roof and that really stood out ."........we had a nice chat....I gave her a cold bottle of water....and really laid the BS on heavy....she told me about some people would try to run her off.....yell at her...etc..etc.......I told her that would be a no-brainer for me if I was her.......their property value just went up $50.000 and she just laughed........smiled at me and said she didn't see anything to worry about.........sigh........

Hans,

I had a similar experience with our County assessor. I was nice and polite, but my property taxes still went up.....and also my rate for Rural Metro Fire Dept. The satellite photos tell these folks exactly what is what.

The outside of the house can be deceiving. To really be fair in assessment, the inside of the house also has to be examined.
