Property Tax Appeal - Assessor Asked for Rent Rolls

[Dawn Johnson]

I called to do an informal appeal of my property tax (SFH with an ADU) and was told I would need to also submit my rent rolls to be used in their reassessment. Has anyone heard of this, or granted this request and had it work in their favor??

I suspect they have some percent of my income they would target for their taxes using this information. It almost makes me not want to file an appeal (maybe that was the intent). 

Helpful information: this is paid off property, so depreciation is what is helping keep the income low for now. Assessment increase 7% in a market that is falling (C neighborhood)

I appreciate any feedback/thoughts regarding this.
