Property Tax Appeal Appraisals

Property Tax Appeal work has its own rules

An appeal succeeds on evidence, not argument. The report has to speak to the assessor's valuation date and to the specific basis of the assessment.

Every report prepared for this purpose states its intended use and intended user explicitly, applies the value standard that purpose requires, and is signed by the appraiser who performed the work. That is not a courtesy — it is what makes the report usable by the party who has to accept it.
