Mass Property Tax Assessments
Real estate appraisers are often pressured to overstate the condition or value of the property they are appraising. Mass property tax appraisers often take the most expensive property on the block and use that as a fast track to gauge other properties against. Using that short cut very often results in not making location and other value adjustments. Result, you’re over-assessed!
Mass appraisals are done quickly and at the end of the day, the person doing the measuring has hundreds of measurements and calculations. He or she probably will not even remember your house. He or she doesn’t have the same recall as someone doing a one by one property appraisal and finishing that report before moving on to the next appraisal.
Inaccuracies are made, math errors and observation made in haste and not recorded or misplaced often occur in a mass appraisal.
