Helpful comments. Thanks.
It very well may not be worth the effort/frustration to file for re-assessment. I suspect now, that last purchase price may be the key; i.e., c. 1984 when I purchased my home, it cost ~$10-12,000 more than similar homes. I'm thinking that the algorithm has to do with the last purchase price.
I doubt, therefore, that I would have any chance for a lower or equal assessment.
Any other thoughts? Any successful appeals out there?
