Doesn't it seem that if the police have to have a warrant to come on your property, shouldn't other government agencies at least announce themselves? I have no problem with them appraising my property. We all have to pay taxes. I want our goverment to announce itself before it comes onto my property.

I personally am not willing to allow just anybody from the government to traipse onto my land without permission. I am sure that others will think it is okay.

If you were to look out your bedroom window, into your back yard and there were two guys right outside the window in your bushes, would it be a deal of any size then? There have been over 50 burglaries, many daytime, in and around the Villages recently.
"Blurgary" was my first thought when I read the first post. Hmm... what a nice cover to peek in someone's windows to see if "it's worth the risk", huh? And for the benefit of the Appraiser's safety ... I'd announce myself if I were them! Some old codger may just shoot 'em between the eyes simply out of fear! ... OK, that's over the top, but you get my point, right? *grin*
