I always like overstating my square footage so the assessor can raise my taxes.

What a stupid arguement this is.

Value is an opinion until a property goes on the market and goes through a sales process where the buyer has the right to do their investigations to make sure the property is as advertised.

Witch hunt, plain and simple.
