Physical Inspections
State law mandates that at least once every 5 years a physical inspection is made of each property in Hernando County. This office utilizes a computer program and GIS system to increase efficiency and reduce multiple reviews of the same property.
In addition to the required 5 year inspections, there are several other reasons why an appraiser would make a physical inspection of your property. They include, but are not limited to:
- If a building permit is obtained
- If the property is damaged by a fire, natural disaster (i.e., flood, hurricane, etc.)
- If your property recently sold. It is very important to insure the sales data is accurate since it forms the basis for the Sales Comparison Approach to Value
- You as the property owner or your designated representative can request a review of your property at any time during the year
How Do You Inspect My House?
As a courtesy, the appraiser will knock on the door, introduce themselves, and show identification if someone is home. Please be aware that for your safety, the Property Appraiser's staff wear uniforms and photo identification badges. Our goal is to uphold the highest professional standards and greet each property owner with courtesy and respect.
It is important for you to know that as an office policy, the Hernando County Property Appraiser's staff does not inspect the interior of residential properties. If someone identifies themselves as a Property Appraiser employee and asks to see the interior of your home, please:
- Request to see their official photo identification badge
- Immediately contact our office at (352) 754-4190
- Call the Sheriff's Office at (352) 754-6830 to report the incident
Your safety is of the utmost importance!
