But the assessor just can't barge. You can legally deny him entry. But if he can't see the inside, he could assume you have lots of nifty upgrades, like granite counter tops, a hot tub and a home theater, even if you just have cracked linoleum floors and unpainted walls. "There is a risk that the assessment could be higher than the true market value"
