All the assessors will try to find you at home

They will knock and/or ring your doorbell
If you are not home, they will measure the outside of the structures on your property and they will measure the lot.
They will leave a bright pink tag stating they have completed their work on the outside of your home and ask that you contact them to return for a look inside your home.
In addition, they will return a second time after 5 PM to try and catch you at home.

If you refuse to let the Vanguard representative into your home, and you are free to refuse, they will ask that you complete a short survey describing your home (number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, etc.)

THANK YOU for your cooperation with the Vanguard representatives as we work to equalize values in Foster County.
