I believe the assessment is based on the July value though so you'd have to try to figure out the value at that point in time

For a private assessment you are going to pay $200-$300. That's a big investment for a chance at a small return. You are better off doing te comparables yourself with neighborhood properties and taking a chance fighting it.
I will be doing it this year for first time. I closed on a house in December and te assessment came in $78000 higher then I paid. if I get it reassessed close to what I paid I believe my tax savings would be a few hundred (less the $30 fee to fight it)
