Tax reassessment home inspection. Let them in?

[Jake Recz]

So my father just got a letter the other day saying that the tax assessor is coming to town... They want to reasses and they will be doing inspections on all the properties. I know he doesn't have to let them in. My dads house looks quite nice. New countertops and appliances in the kitchen, hardwood floors and new tile and two finished rooms in the basement. What would be the best strategy? Let in the inspector and then fight the increase or not let them in and see what happens? What would you do? He's already paying $7,200 a year as were in Central NJ. The taxes here are ridiculous as is.

I never let them in. Just tell them its a bad time if they show up unannounced. If they try and make an appointment just say you will have to get back to them. Just keep putting them off. They have 10s of thousands of other people to call. They will move on @Jake Recz
