The lender's appraiser arrived on Thursday, May 7. She told me that she had begun her <br /> appraisal process by examining the records in the Orange County tax office. Her research on my <br /> home revealed that the tax office had incorrectly identified the area over my garage as finished, <br /> habitable space. I visited the Orange County offices in the Gateway center on Friday, May 8, and <br /> spoke to Brad. He verified what the appraiser had told me, in that the space over the garage was <br /> indicated in county records as livable and would have someone verify the condition of the space. <br /> Today, Monday, May 11, Mr. Ray Jordan, a county real estate appraiser, visited my home, <br /> examined the space and found it to be unfinished, storage space. He indicated that he would be <br /> updatingtrevising the plans to my house in the next several days. To be specific, I have been billed <br /> for the last eight years for 3094 square feet when the currently verified amount is 2470 square feet. <br /> I am requesting that you, as Orange County's representative in assessing the appraised value of <br /> property, to do two things: First , correct the reappraised value of my home that is used for <br /> assessment purposes so that I will be taxed on the appropriate value of my home in the current and <br /> future years. Second,provide me w� tlif the property taxes that I overpaid in since 2002 <br /> based on the incorrect valuation of my home:`' .:LL <br /> In closing,I want to commend the Orange County Tax Office personnel that I have spoke with as <br /> being especially polite,respectful and helpful. Their promptness in checking this out and assistance <br /> in getting the proper adjustments made has been very much appreciated. If you would like to <br /> discuss this matter with me I will be happy to meet with you or discuss it with you over the phone- <br /> 929-5706. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> J t <br /> an R Mars 1rJr. <br />
