I WOULD TELL THE COUNTY PILGRIMS TO TAKE A HIKE AND PAY THEM WHATEVER YOU THINK – your ancestors came over here on the mayflower to settle in a nice place – now these new pilgrims tryin to rip you off – i would build the mayflower II and send them back home

You’ll file an appeal – then they’ll schedule a hearing, and you’ll present your case on why you feel your assessment is too high. You’ll have to do some homework here – you need to show that it’s assessed higher than comparable properties. Just showing that you couldn’t sell it for that price has nothing to do with it – there’s no requirement for assessment to match current market value, just to be comparable to the assessment of other comparable houses.

Call the county assessor’s office for info on how to file an appeal.

Good luck.

Your local assessor should tell you how to dispute an assessment if you ask. It is not something that is kept secret. You are going to need an appraisal that shows the assessor is off the mark.
