Will I be penalized if I don’t let the Assessor in when an inspection is requested?

  When an interior inspection is not allowed, the Assessor will attempt to update the records by looking at the property from the outside and using any other available information.  To ensure an accurate assessment, it is to your advantage to allow the Assessor inside your property when an inspection is requested.  By denying an inspection, you may lose the right to appeal your assessment.
