Last year I was actually in the tax office about something else, and asked just out of curiosity about my subdivision and how it is assessed. It was interesting in the calcs that go into the assessment. Very little of it is actually subjective, unless your house is completely falling down and the condition is not what is listed on the county website, or in line with the condition of other houses of similar SF and lot size.
And just FYI, they do not go by what the Bldg Dept shows as permitted in every case. They go by the actual SF that they have on file, or they can come out and check.
I have had them come out and measure two different houses as unpermitted portions had been torn down that were previously being taxed.
