Outcome
A homeowner appealing a house assessed at $481,500 says he used ChatGPT to organise a 3-page hearing script and build three evidence packets (for himself, the Board and the Assessor) from comparable sales, repair quotes and listings. After presenting about 40 pages of evidence, he settled at $422,000, which he says lowers his bill by about $300–$500/year; the whole effort took about 6 hours.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to. Goal: Organise my property tax appeal into a short hearing script and clear evidence packets. Fill in before running: - Assessment notice and appeal deadline: [ATTACH] - Comparable sales I found: [LIST] - Repair quotes and photos: [ATTACH] - Value I'm asking for and a fallback: [AMOUNTS] Rules: - Structure the packet: cover, contents, county comps, my comps, condition evidence, listings, tax impact. - Write a polite 60–90 second hearing script using only my evidence. - Explain adjustments between my home and each comp in plain words. - Remind me of the filing deadline and how many copies to bring. - If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me. - Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything. - Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify. Output: A packet outline with exhibit order and a short script. You'll know it worked when: I file before the deadline and present a clear, organized case.
