Property Revaluation Project
Interior Property Inspections – Residential Real Estate:
Follow-up letters are being mailed in phases by tax map number to properties where an interior inspection was not completed. This may include properties that were posted “No Trespassing,” homeowner was not home, or only limited information was provided to the data collector at the door.
If you receive a letter, it simply means the appraisers still need to complete or verify the interior information for your property. Interior inspections allow appraisers to confirm details such as finished areas, number of rooms, and updates to the home.
Accurate property records help ensure valuations are fair across the community and also help protect a homeowner’s ability to request an abatement if they believe their assessment is incorrect.
While interior inspections are voluntary, they are strongly encouraged so the most accurate information can be used in determining property values.
Residents who receive a letter can schedule an appointment directly with the appraisal company using the contact information provided in the notice.
Revaluation Interior Inspection – Resident Q&A
Why did I receive a letter to schedule an interior inspection?
Letters are being mailed in phases by tax map number to properties where an interior inspection was not completed during the initial visit. This may include properties where the homeowner was not home, the property was posted “No Trespassing,” or where the data collector was only able to gather limited information at the door.
Receiving a letter simply means the appraisal company still needs to verify the interior information for your property.
I already spoke with the data collector at the door. Why do they still need to come inside?
In some cases, the visit is recorded as “information at the door.” This means the data collector was able to ask a few questions but was not able to complete a full interior inspection.
While that information can be helpful, it does not carry the same level of verification as a full inspection. For that reason, those properties are included in the follow-up letters requesting an appointment.
Why do appraisers need to see inside my home?
Interior inspections allow the appraisers to verify details such as finished areas, number of rooms, and updates or renovations. This helps ensure the property record card is accurate, which is important for establishing fair and equitable property values across the community.
Do I have to let them in?
Interior inspections are voluntary, but they are strongly encouraged. If access is not granted, the appraisers will have to estimate the interior using the best available information, which may not reflect the actual condition or features of the home.
How do I schedule the inspection?
Appointments can be scheduled directly with the appraisal company using the contact information provided in the letter.
Will this inspection increase my taxes?
The purpose of the revaluation is to update property values to reflect current market conditions and ensure fairness. A change in property value does not automatically mean your taxes will increase. Your tax bill is determined by both your assessed value and the tax rate set by the town each year.
How long does the inspection take?
Most interior inspections take approximately 10 minutes.
