I am assuming it is like what is happening here in North Idaho... they assessed you on comp. square footage, based on home prices... is it fair? Usually not. You have to go and file and appeal and show comp. sales and reasons why your trailer is not worth that amount. If homes in the area sold for more money last year then the prices go up per square footage...
We had this happen last year for 2005 assessments, almost the whole county appealed. Even though our home is a peice of ... it is only assessed on it's square footage, it is pretty big!!! So our assessment went up in 1 year almost 1/2 a million dollars!!!! This happened to everyone... noone looked at the homes... they just jacked up the price. We are in a stan still at this point. But people aer going to have to move if they don'w lower these assessments. They said we our home had been remodeled in 2001!!! The main living area was painted... we have a flooding basement, 3 crazy heat sources... warped rotted siding... it is old. Noone would pay what they have it assessed for.
