No - Appraisers work for the client which is the lender.
Appraisal law says they can not disclose information to a third party which includes the tax office - and the borrower.
First step would be to send a copy of both reports to the State Appraisal Board - they have one - with a complaint.
Most state boards have a staff appraiser who will look at both reports, review the data and see if there is a potential problem. If there is both appraisers can expect a very deep examination of their report.
