Trying to see if it would be worth my time trying to fight franklin county...when i moved into my house 2.5 years ago, they had the value at $117,300. i bought it for $78k. argued the value down, they agreed on that at the beginning of 2010. now the new appraisals came out, i got a letter saying it would be $102,200 (HA!). went to the open house type thing they had, took my stuff from when i bought the house (HUD appraisal showing $75k, banks showing $80k, closing statement), and today i get a letter saying that the $102,200 is final and if i want to argue it, i'll have to go through the whole process i just went through...in the end, this will add approximately $550/yr ($45/mo) to my mortgage...while it isnt a lot, its BS they raised it by so much. if they came back with $85-88k-ish, i'd probably agree with them.
I just find it funny that while everyones value in my neighborhood dropped, and i got mine done ahead of all them, mine goes up by 30%. WTF.
IF i could sell this house for $102k now, i'd fucking take the ~$20k i'd end up with and run. that wont happen though.
so do i spend my time going through the process again, and paying an appraiser like $300 to try to get it lowered back down?
