Ah, the joys of a building permit. Getting the new deck in led to a visit from the a county assessor appraiser yesterday, who left a note on our door asking to call.
Did so this afternoon, and was told that, with the building permit, he had to take measurements of the new deck, etc. (Ch-ching.) I gave him permission to go in our backyard, rather than setting up an appointment with him.
He also asked about details of the interior of the house, confirming their figures on the basement (70% finished), bathroom count (2½, with nothing having been added to the basement), bedroom count (four, upstairs), and ... oh, yeah, we have air conditioning now (ch-ching).
I'm sure we'll see the outcome of his visit on our next tax assessment ...
