One Resident Seeking a New Appraisal Says...

I have done a bit of calling around and actually, quite accidentally, tripped across the company that is doing the appraisals for the City of Centerville.
Nagell Appraisal's St. Paul office is doing the city's side. Being that the Council seemed reluctant to disclose said information so far, I thought it should be made known.
Nagell had to bow out in appraising my property due to conflict of interest. Since the City Council did not state that they were refusing for legal reasons, I assume they chose not to disclose because they didn't want the appraiser to be swamped with angry phone calls.

You can forward this to the e-mail list as you see fit.

Why wouldn't the city disclose who did the appraisals for them? It seems to me that as property owners we should be allowed to know exactly who did our appraisal.
Thank you for posting the link!!!

I am not being assessed but would expect to know the name of the company working for the city if I was.
So much for transparency. What a joke!

So the city refuses to disclose this information even though they were asked more than once during the hearing.
Thank you for bringing transparency to Centerville, even though our elected officials and paid employees will not.
Beijing or Nazi Germany (take your pick) right here in the good old USA.

It never ceases to amaze me how this city continues to "twist" the law, so they can continue to SCREW the citizens!!
