Default Re: Trespassing by tax appraisers

The Property Appraiser or his representative is statutorily charged with physically inspecting every property at least once every 5 years (Section 193.023(2), Fla. Stat.) so it seems they don't need permission from a property owner to do that.

However, they should identify themselves. I called the local (Leon County) PA and was told their inspectors wear uniforms and carry ID which they provide when asked. Makes sense.
