I received a call from Wayne Township Assessor office two hours after calling into WOWO morning show. I happened to be in the doctor office. About an hour later I was in the assessor office.
They wanted to come in an remeasure my basement, at appeared that the number did not add up. I told them to add them up and put the correct number on the property record card. And explained that it was an administrative error that could be done without coming out.
They suggested that it would reduce my tax bill. What a joke, the number was so small it would not make a difference. When I explained that trending was the reason given for my increase I was told that they could reduce my assessment by $7,000, again I told them go ahead. But no this time I had to sign a paper saying I agreed to change the condition of my home. Again I reminded them I did not have to sign anything, because again this was their administrative error. Again that trending was the reason given for the increase in my property value was the excuse that they gave.
I did not file a complaint, this phone call was to shut me up. It was to look as if they are doing me a favor. May I say once and for all, that the assessment is illegal for all residents, so fix it.
P.S. I received a letter in the mail the next day to appear before the PTBOA. Once again I did not request this, but the assessor what to appear like they are working with me, instead of correcting what they will have to correct before it is all said and done.
I will continue to protest at 12:00 p.m. in front of Freimann Square until they correct the other homeowners they have overassessed just for the heck of it.
