Mine is done by the county, but they didn't come back out - they just went by averages. There was a massive uproar because a very large percentage of the properties went up 200-300% at a time when sale prices were actually going down. We even made the Atlanta news
My subdivision sent out a template to protest and from what I've read around 90% of the county protested. I suspect they did as little real investigating as they could. For instance I have 2 lots next to each other. One is buildable, one is not. But they accessed them at the same price and at an absurd amount. I protested and they lowered the amount but kept them the same as each other when obviously they aren't worth the same.
