You can find the uniform partnershipact online (I forget if it's UPA or RUPA).

I saw in their website "The Inspectors review structural construction, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, and electrical work prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy to insure compliance with the State Uniform Construction Code."

B. ( ) I further certify the following as required by the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.15(f)1.ix: I personally prepared the plans submitted for: 1) the new home referred to in A.; or, 2) an addition, alteration, renovation, or repair to an existing single family residence owned and occupied by myself and located on the property listed on Page 1; or, 3) a new structure that will be physically separate from, but that will be deemed part of, an existing single family residence that is owned and occupied by myself and located on the property listed on Page 1.

@TJ SinnMost renters tend to look for a uniform look throughout.

Plenty of transactions and most homes and lot sizes are uniform.  

For example, Tennessee has the Uniform Residential Landlord Tenant Act.  

CADs use “mass appraisal” which is more dependent on regression analysis and doesn’t dive as deeply into your property specifics.You can protest because the value is above market value and/or because the value is not equal and uniform to similar properties.  

But that underlines your point about not having uniformity nation wide.

However, @John McConnell, I see you in a uniform, speaking of retirement, lucky you.

While it does appear there is *some* flexibility now coming in terms of loan forbearance and some states/counties are being *a little* flexible on taxes these aren't uniform and still come with hardship and problems.
