Description
Last Sunday morning I'm sitting at my kitchen table reading the paper. I look up and see a man outside on my patio!
My patio is in my backyard, behind a normally locked fence & gate and then down a flight of stairs. No one should ever be on my patio unless they've been invited. He's lucky that my dog wasn't outside. He'd have been bitten for sure.
I politely ask the stranger what he was doing and he presented a city of Troy laminated "badge" and said he was from Gar associates and was doing a reassessment on my home and property.
I guess Troy figures we all not paying enough taxes currently and want to charge us all more more more.
I didn't appreciate this guy making his way on to my property without ringing the doorbell or knocking on the door.
And, I'm sure I won't appreciate it when my property/school taxes go up as a result of the reassessment.

THANK YOU CITY GOVERNMENT for finally getting to a quality and honest reassessment process. Annee Borthwick

Annee no offense but if you think the city is going through all the effort and cost of this gigatic city wide reassessment so our taxes can stay the same or go down... you're looking through rose colored glasses. Unfortunately, I think you'll be singing a different tune when your new tax bill shows up.
M Mitchell it did scare the bejesus out of me! Looking up from reading my sunday news paper and seeing a stealthy stranger on my patio. Not cool at all.

Next time I would like to be notified first so I can put a big pad lock on my gate so they can';t get in!!!!
