I did it with no assesment. I found comps for similar size lots (mine is big)
and detailed why my property was worth less (house size, age, view) even though
the comp sold for less than my assessment. All the data came from the King
County WA records of property sales for the beginning of the appropriate year. I
managed to knock off about 1/3 of their assessment.

Unless your town has crooked appraisers, a private appraisal will most
likely value your house higher than the town does. So...you're out the money
with no tax reduction.

Someone should tell the Flyover State Tax Evader to STFU and pay what he
owes. If he spent as much time earning money as he does bitching about the
price of EVERYTHING, he'd be able to pay his bills.

Agreed, to a point, and yes, I've KFd GG even though one of the computers I
post from uses googlegroups (depends on if I'm in the house, the office, or
the workspace). Ok, I hate the whole concept of censorship, but I REALLY
hate the monkey brain. I only see him when others reply, and I KF them
immediately. Too bad KFiling responders to monkey brain doesn't result in
their actual death. Ok, so maybe that's harsh, but CRAP, I really find that
douchebag annoying. Fortunately, I rarely have to view his screed.

Freedom of speech is fine, but there's no requirement that anyone
actually listen, or even be in a position to actually hear.

The loons have done more damage to usenet than spam ever could.
Replying to loons keeps them going -- you'd think that people would have
figured that out by now. To the best of my knowledge, the longest
still-extant flamewar on usenet started in 1999. Anybody know a longer
one? I've killfiled most of the participants in the one I know of, but
most of the regular posters -- as in mcfl -- have gone elsewhere.

I would like the loons to die painful deaths. They've ruined one of the
best and most useful things ever developed on our planet. God damn them
all.
