The amazing thing is, they would create an assessed value on the accessory building without knowing if it was being rented, inhabited by an in-law or child, or if it was completely trashed and/or uninhabitable (no power, potable water, sewer connection). Without an interior inspection, you can not even come close to an accurate tax assessment, you can only create a crude estimate of large-swath value increases and apply it across the board, which especially f@cks the elderly, as their properties are almost always dated.
