True, there is a similar designed house across the street that has siding and a nice yard where they pay more property taxes than I do.
Out interior is just as nice, but appraisers only look at the outside>
BTW: Another neighbor had some trees removed and they destroyed their fence. They have a dog so scheduled a new one to be installed. I offered to prop up the old fence just to keep their dog in. It looked like hell and I told them if they just left it, it would surely lower their property taxes.
