Yes, there is a mechanism in place to appeal the valuation. But, in some strange circular logic, the onus is placed upon me to prove that my property is
not worth what they say it is.
In
MY world, when the county raises the value of my property, I should then have 90 days to decide whether or not I want to sell, to the county, my property, for the value that they have placed on it. By keeping possesion of my property, I then agree to the new valuation and pay the extra taxes incurred. Otherwise, the county then pays me the full valuation, which they have placed on my property, and I then have 30 days to vacate the property in order that the county may then attempt to sell it themselves.
