This is a very simple question to answerbecause they are handling your assessment!

Mishaps are often made given there is so much work and so many houses to value! Simply remember the Assessor’s Office is a mass assessment entity and they do not always have the time or the staff to make sure every single assessment is perfect. If there is a mistake|an error in your building information or a value that is far above than what it should be, it is not intentional nor is it personal.

House, Condo, Townhouse, PUD or Co-Op…What Should I Look For?

First of all let me define PUD: PUD stands for Planned Unit Development. A PUD is essentially a single family home and the ownership of the residence is legally treated that way. The major difference is that a PUD is part of a community, part of a larger development similar to a condo. Even though you will own your home if its a PUD you will pay an association fee per month to maintain community areas which usually include parks, pools and sometimes recreation rooms. The association regulates community improvements so if you want to make major improvements to your house or want to paint your house you will need the homeowners’ association’s approval. Since a PUD is basically a single family home that is also part of a larger neighborhood you are liable for your own repairs and maintaining your own homeowners insurance because you own your own land and own building.
