Hi Cheryl,

I guess no one really can give you a good answer on that one. Fortunately I just found out an old friend of mine works in the Assessors Office and he's been swamp with all the forms they received. I asked him if there're any hints that the county will lean towards approving the reassessment and this is what he said:

"Hope that you get a sub par appraiser. If all else fails, file an appeal, and hope the office is so backed up that it goes past statute."

I am guessing that's as good an answer as anyone can give regarding the reassessment.

Check with the city regarding subdivision, and check with a tax adviser regarding using your home for a non-profit.

Good luck!
