bearishgurl: You raise good points, especially about how the assessor’s office relies primarily on SF and neighborhood and lot size, not on condition. This is a plus for those appellants who have super-improved properties and can find a trashed comp nearby to use.
Also, your experience with the time lags is relevant. The County is so overwhelmed that it can easily be one to one and a half years before you hear from them. So this process is for those organized and determined homeowners who act now for a distant payoff. The County by law must respond within two years or grant you your number. One Florida county was so overrun with appeals they did not respond in the required time and had to cave on all of them.
