if they check and find buildings that are not recorded.Even un-permitted.They assess
I don't have a problem with this, provided that such assessments apply equally to all ... reality is a system of "spot assessments" wherein "certain people" are taxed based on Pictometry-based square footage guesstimates while their neighbors are not.
Example: The neighbors' shack was there for years before my "unpermitted" (as in, "permits not required by either HRS or HCC") carport ... several aerial photos later, my tax bill goes up (square footage!), they're still paying the "vacant land" rate. How does that work exactly?
