Can the assessment on my property be changed even if the assessor has not been inside my property?
To make a proper assessment on a property, it is desirable for the assessor to view both the interior and exterior of the building(s). The assessor keeps records regarding the physical characteristics of each property in the City of Norfolk. Even though a staff appraiser may have been unable to inspect each property, all assessments are still reviewed each year, based on the existing records and the sales of similar properties in the neighborhood.
