By chance did they already change our codes? I thought I was once listed as a DH72 (this was just a couple weeks back). I now see our home listed as a D73C4i (D73C4i). I too have a valuation question. I live in a group of 8 homes built in 2021. 7 of 8 saw their valuation (comparing against purchase price) decrease by $50,000. For some reason, ours went up $20,000. When I asked the lady at the tax office she said it was because of our house. To use an analogy, I would assume if the lake rose.....then all boats would be elevated, not just one. All she could repeat was......It is your house. I live in a larger Woodside. No lake view, no water view, no large lot. I have hardly no grass with a kissing lanai. It makes my blood boil when I see a Million dollar home with a pool, 3 car garage and a lake view being assessed for $40K more than mine.
