if you bank is doing that find another bank and switch your mortage when you can. assedments have no bearing on the value of a house they only reflect the average selling prices for houses in that area. my assesment went up 65K from what it was last year as housing sails have taken off in the second have of the year again.
I have borrowed against my old houses and the only thing the bank used to figure out how much I could borrow was a proper aprasal.
