I think it's entirely different for someone who's job it is to assess property to have access to that property. I'm thinking of them as people like meter readers who have an implicit right to enter my property. If they are peering in windows they are doing more than their job, and that should be dealt with accordingly. And it would be a big deal if they were burglars, but these guys weren't.
Out of curiosity, how would you propose this be done? Have them continue to return to the property until permission was granted? How many people would deny them this access? How would they deal with people who wouldn't answer their door?
I still think this is a mountain being made out of a mole hill. I don't agree with your statement they have permission to do whatever they want to do. They have permission to do their job.

I don't understand what is the issue. Two things we can be sure of are Death and Taxes. And the grim reaper and the tax appraiser will cometh.
