Land's assessed valuation increase

[Kapohocat]

I suggest that people do appeal their tax appraisals if --- they havent done improvements in a long time (i.e value less than brand new shiny spec house), if the property is in a flood zone, or has some other problem that wouldnt be apparent from a comparative market analysis only. The tax office does take these things into account. I did do an appeal about 8 years ago and the tax office lowered my taxes on a property in Honomu. It was fairly painless although there is a small filing fee.
