J. Last time the Town updated values the Assessors just did a drive by assessment. Do they need to look inside my home to properly assess it?

Your home has been viewed over the years as part of a cycled measure and list process.  If the Assessor was unable to view the interior on the first visit to your property a door tag would have been left.  The door tag would notify you of their visit asking you to call to schedule an interior inspection.  If an interior inspection was not obtained, the interior information on the home would be estimated.  As such, it is crucial to the process to ensure the data on your property record card is accurate.  Incorrect data could lead to an inaccurate assessment for you property.  The final phase of the update process involves the Assessing Supervisor (with another Assessor) driving the entire Town and reviewing the data that was previously collected.  They may sit in front of your home and/or drive up your driveway to get a better look.  This is not a drive by assessment, rather a double check to ensure the data entered accurately depicts what is on each lot.
