"I'm a Tax Assessor in Maine". "When I lived in Georgia". "Vote out a property tax appraiser".

Where do you people come up with this stuff and think it's a valid answer to a legitimate question?
The Poster asked about a Tax Assessment, in a specific County, in a specific State.
All states are different. Not all Tax Assessors are "elected". Many communities in the USA, use a tax assessment consultant. Some throw darts agains the wall.
The process varies as does the process for appealing a Tax Assessment. It is different in every state in the union.
This is the process in Florida:

The process does not always run smoothly and this was not in FL, but it's similar everywhere. See attached.
