There was the coolest tire planter on Craigslist a couple of weeks ago. It was a painted inverted tire cut to look like a flower. Hated that I was out of town!

It depends on what the basis for the increase or decrease of your property value was. That information should be listed at the bottom on your assessment value letter.

I had three comps in my neighborhood that showed the sales price and then calculated the price per square foot of my home and the comps. I also had pictures proving there was not a new addition which was stated as a reason for the increase. Since I recently bought my home I also had the disclosure statement outlining the years renovations were completed along with the information from the DeKalb Property Tax website illustrating the dates of permits for the renovation.

The lady before me provided an appraisal of her home along with comps…

Depends on your situation, but the more documentation the better.

Actually, bathtub planters are very common in some areas north (way north) of here.
