[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 4189356, member: 7248"] As mentioned, they don’t go into a house. Instead they make assumptions based on the outside dimensions of each building. Like they assessed my shop as living space. I notified them it was not living space and the assessor removed 1000 sqf from the assessed value of the house. It was assessed at a lower per foot amount. Make sure the sqf is correct on each assessed living space and look at comparable properties and the assessed price per foot. If your footage is wrong or have a much higher per sqf assessment, you have something to challenge. One note, when improvements are made to the property, the taxable value can be increased more than the limited amount of 3.5% (i think). So if you made improvements, the assessor has ways to know that, like adding footage to a house and adding an additional HVAC outside. Not sure about your county, but Rogers county assessor site has pictures of my property from many different angles and if something changes, they must review the historical images and catch the changes. I added an outdoor fireplace and my taxes went up because of the improvements. It makes me not want to improve my property. Currently my capped amount is 40k less than my assessed amount. And that’s because of the limited amount the capped amount can be increased each year. If I made any improvements, they would increase my capped amount to the assessed amount and then raise both to account for the improvements. Visit your county’s assessor and treasurer sites to see if details to compare properties are provided and there should be specific information about how properties are assessed and taxed. This site is very useful.
