If you plan to file for an abatement make sure that you look carefully at your tax card and confirm that the rest of the information on it is accurate.

About 10 years ago I filed for an abatement with the contention that my land was worth less than what they had it assessed for. I gave them 4 examples from my street and they agreed to reduce the assessed land value. However, the tax card did not list one of the docks (which was legal and permitted) and when they added that and made a couple of other adjustments the net result was a very minor decrease.

So, if they make a site visit they will look at everything and there is some potential that the result could work against you.
