I met with the Machias assessor today - he had revalued my home at $30,000 more than I paid for it, based on faulty information. He was able to remove two bedrooms that I don't have, a 1/2 bath that I don't have, a full basement that I don't have, remove the deck as it is dangerously decrepit, and since the kitchen and bathroom haven't been redone since the 1950s, mark them as "not modern.'' The result? He dropped $14,000 off my assessment, cutting my taxes by nearly $300.
Not bad.
Thank you Trudy. Sometimes it really does pay to speak up for yourself.

Yay! I LIKE when that happens! Good for you and for Trudy's prompt to do so too!
Woohoo - gotta love it when something turns out right!
