While I'm not a land appraiser, I just know how they appraised my
current QTH. They took a list of "comparable" homes both in my
neighborhood and outside it and somehow came up with a value.
To my knowledge, the Tarrant County Appraisal District (one of 254 such
agencies in Texas--one in each county and what a boondoggle in my my
opinion. They're not there to assure "fair" appraisals, but to maximize
land values as much as they can so govts can get as much $$$ as they
can) has never used the fact a ham antenna was in a neighborhood as a
reason for lowering a property's value--at least they haven't lowered
anyone's property around me for that reason.
