Can Property Boundary Errors Affect an Assessment Review?

Property boundary information and assessment records serve different purposes, but both describe important characteristics of a property.

If a homeowner discovers questions involving lot size, parcel information, or boundary records, those issues should be reviewed carefully before preparing an assessment review.

Why Review Property Records First?

Assessment records often contain information about the property's land size, improvements, and parcel identification.

If homeowners believe the records do not accurately describe their property, they should understand the reason before comparing their home with similar properties.

Accurate records make assessment research more reliable.

Who Can Help?

Questions involving boundaries or ownership generally require different professionals than assessment questions.

Depending on the issue, homeowners may need assistance from a surveyor, attorney, title company, or the appropriate local government office.

Understanding which issue is involved can help homeowners determine the correct next step.

Preparing for an Assessment Review

Before beginning an assessment review, homeowners should gather:

• Assessment records
• Property record card
• Survey, if available
• Comparable property information
• Tax bills
• Other supporting documents

Organizing these records early can make the review process more efficient.
