[Sidney Lanier]

Here in NYS we have a townwide property reassessment done about once every ten years, and while individual homeowners do not receive specific appointment times, we are ALL notified that the reassessment is taking place, that the inspectors will come onto our property, and they will officially identify themselves if the homeowners are at home. What's the big deal? I've never heard of any of these inspectors peering into windows, and a complaint would be warranted if one were seen doing so, but beyond these rarities which certainly can happen, these men and women are simply doing their jobs (which has nothing to do with how we feel about paying our property taxes...).
