I’m curious what state you are in. In most states that I have seen appraisals are private party transactions and are not publicly available. An adjuster may look at your property to determine tax value but in most cases I have seen an appraiser is hired by the bank to determine value for financing purposes and that appraisal is owned by the borrower.

Sure but that doesn't always mean they pay much more. In my state, house taxes are reaveluated when you buy a house and they tell you how much you have to pay then it can only go up a certain amount per year no matter how much the home value is. Ypu buy a house for 200k and 3 years later the house is worth 600k but you only pay taxes as if it were a 200k house. When someone buys it it's reevaluated and they now pay taxes as if it's a 600k house.
