Can the estimated market value change even if the appraiser has not been inside my property?

Yes. The Assessor keeps records on the physical characteristics of each property in the county. Even though the Assessor may have been unable to go through your property, the estimated market value will be reviewed based on existing records and sales of similar property. The Assessor’s Office is required by law to look at all sales in all areas in the county each year and adjust values based on the current selling prices of property, regardless of whether or not it has been a scheduled reassessment year for the property.
