I'm going to club a guy over the head with a jug of antifreeze.

Okay, quick revision here:

Assessors are elected officials who MUST be licensed as Appraisers with the State Dept. of Revenue.
County Assessors have County Appraisers who work under them, and it is those Appraisers who set the $$$$ value on the acreage and dwelling, as it relates to your yearly tax bill.

Private Appraisers for lending companies are total garbage. One of my friends out here built a monster house; he used the best materials money can buy, and it's a total 'Hefner Pimp Ski Lodge'. The private appraiser worked solely on square footage alone.
Which, it seems, you're not even getting the luxury of.

Try your State Dept. of Revenue, and see what they say.
