Steve,

Bring your HUD statement to your local assessor before you pay anyone too much. Most townships will automatically adjust the property valuation to correctly relate to the purchase price.

For example, in my area(very high taxes), one of my properties was purchase for 60k. The assessor adjusted the valuation to 20k(1/3 of FMV) so the property tax bill dropped dramatically as the valuation they had considered a FMV of 180k. My taxes dropped by 2/3 the amount.

Talk to your assessor before you pay anyone. Why pay for something you can do easily. A quick google search will inform you.
