They challenge tax appraised values based on comps: What are similar structures in the area selling for?

The county hates it when some houses sell because even now they sell for less than what the county thinks they should sell for. Then the county "loses" money next time around because it overvalued the property and confused their appraisal with the property's actual worth.

The county assessor knows even less about economics.
